Growth value

Share of a company with above-average sales or profit growth.

In brief: Share of a company with above-average sales or profit growth.

Meaning in practice

Growth stocks trade at high valuations because investors are pricing in future earnings. They are highly sensitive to interest rates – rising interest rates disproportionately depress valuations.

Context for investors and traders

For traders, this term is most useful when preparing and executing an order. Its meaning depends on the venue, liquidity, time frame and order type. A single reading is not a reliable buy or sell decision.

How to use this in practice

Use the term first to describe the situation and add verifiable data: time frame, benchmark, costs and liquidity. Only then does it become an assessment that can be connected to an investment objective and risk budget.

What to keep in mind
