Growth stocks have contributed to the growth of the stock market in the last decade. While the 2025 market has gotten off to a shaky start, there’s good reason to believe that rising stocks can continue to boost it in the years to come.
Let’s take a look at four companies with sharp revenue growth that investors can consider buying and holding over the next decade.
When it comes to revenue growth, there are few companies that can compete with it Nvidia(NASDAQ: NVDA)whose revenue grew by 94% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The company is the dominant market leader in graphics processing units (GPU)the backbone of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure given their superior processing speed.
This leadership is further supported by its CUDA-X software platform, which makes its chips easily programmable for various AI tasks through a range of development tools and libraries.
Big tech companies and start-ups are pouring money into AI data centers, and AI models only need more GPUs to get more advanced, so the company is well-positioned to carry this strong demand into the future. At the same time, it has accelerated its development of new chips to about one a year, helping to secure its technological leadership.
Despite the strong growth and outlook, the share price is attractive at a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 29.5 based on analyst estimates for fiscal 2026. For only a small premium to 26.3 forward P/E of Nasdaq 100 index, investors can take advantage of one of the most important companies behind the artificial intelligence revolution.

Another fast-growing stock that burst onto the scene is AppLovin (NASDAQ: APP)which increased its revenues by 39% in the third quarter. That growth is led by its software platform segment, whose revenue grew 66% year over year.
The company, whose primary business is a gaming app platform, has seen rapid growth since the launch of Axon-2 in 2023. This AI-powered ad tech platform has been a hit, using machine learning to better attract and monetize new users.
The company believes it can continue to grow among gaming users at a rate of 20% to 30% over the long term based on overall market growth and continued performance improvements as the algorithm learns on its own.
Meanwhile, AppLovin is looking to take Axon-2’s success into other verticals. It has already started testing it within e-commerce, and management thinks it can contribute significantly to revenue in 2025. If this attempt is successful, the company has a big opportunity to take advantage of.
The stock is also reasonably priced, trading at a forward P/E of 36.8 based on analyst estimates for 2025.
GitLab(NASDAQ: GTLB) has been growing continuously with revenue growth of 30% to 40% in each of the last six quarters. The company launches a DevSecOps platform that helps developers create software in a secure environment.
The company has seen a nice boost from its GitLab Duo plugin, which can help developers by offering suggestions and can help complete coding. Its Duo Workflow is an AI offering that can proactively help in software development.
GitLab is growing its customer base and winning more business within its existing base. As of the third quarter of fiscal 2025, it had 9,159 customers, up more than 16% year-over-year. Meanwhile, it has a strong net revenue retention rate of 124%, which shows that existing customers are increasing their spending with the company over time. Looking ahead, the management signed a contract with Amazon enabling Amazon Web Services customers to use the GitLab platform to deploy secure code faster.
With a P/E ratio of 75.3 as of this writing, GitLab is the most expensive stock on this list. That may come with more volatility for its stock, but the company can still outperform long-term investors.
A cyber security company SentinelOne(NYSE: S) grew revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 by a strong 28% year-over-year. Management said it is seeing momentum with business customers and government agencies. The company also said it has started to win some business from rivals CrowdStrike Holdings after that company’s well-publicized fallout last summer.
SentinelOne successfully markets Purple AI, which it calls the fastest growing platform in its history. The AI plugin helps analysts hunt down complex security threats using natural language queries.
Meanwhile, the company has a big opportunity as a supplier of personal computers to businesses Lenovo will install the SentinelOne Singularity Platform on all new computers it sells. The two companies will also develop a new Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service using AI and EDR (endpoint detection and response) capabilities built on the Singularity platform.
Lenovo is the world’s largest PC vendor, having shipped nearly 62 million units in 2024, so this is a major partnership that could accelerate SentinelOne’s revenue growth.
However, the company is still making losses. Profit margins are still growing, and on a price-to-sales basis, the stock is attractively valued at 6.8 times sales.
