Growth stocks typically have high revenue and earnings growth, whereas value stocks have attractive valuations. Investors looking for growth stocks don’t mind paying a premium as long as the company has underlying strength in its business model and an impressive financial outlook. Growth stocks have so far played an outsized role in the overall recovery of the stock market since the pandemic-driven crash earlier this year.

The SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF (SPYG), which can be considered a benchmark for the performance of growth stocks, has risen 56.6% since hitting its low in March. Over the same period, the S&P 500 has gained 47.9%.

As the Fed’s continued low-interest-rate regime and the gradual recovery of the economy might lead stocks to rotate out of the high-flying tech sector. Assuming that’s the case, investors should consider recharging their portfolio with some solid non-tech growth stocks that might have plenty of upside left.

Lennar Corporation (LEN), Masco Corporation (MAS), and AAON, Inc. (AAON) have a proven history of earnings and revenue growth, and the market expects their financials to improve further.
