Expensive stocks typically earn their valuations through superior growth rates that other companies simply can’t match.
The flip side though is that these lofty expectations make them particularly susceptible to drawdowns when market sentiment shifts.

Power resiliency solutions provider American Superconductor (NASDAQ:AMSC)
will be reporting earnings this Wednesday after market hours. Here’s what investors should know.
AMSC stock combines explosive 425% EPS growth with a strong technical setup, presenting a high-growth investment opportunity with a clear breakout pattern.
Volatility cuts both ways - while it creates opportunities, it also increases risk, making sharp declines just as likely as big gains.
This unpredictability can shake out even the most experienced investors.
In today’s market, large companies dominate the landscape and grow their leads by acquiring smaller competitors - a trend that will accelerate with the Trump administration.
However, some lesser-known players will continue thriving because they’ve carved durable niches for themselves.
A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after a softened tone from President Donald Trump on U.S.-China relations boosted investor sentiment. The positive shift followed a weekend post on Truth Social where Trump stated, "Don't worry about China, it will all be fine!" and expressed a desire to help rather than hurt the country's economy. This statement provided significant relief to markets that had ended the prior week with steep losses. In response, the Nasdaq Composite jumped 2.2%, the S&P 500 gained 1.6%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 1.3% higher, as investors' fears of escalating trade tensions subsided.
A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after investors grew anxious as the U.S. government shutdown extended into its seventh day, creating widespread uncertainty.
