I review four growth stocks—Argan, Inc., Power Solutions International, Inc., Powell Industries, Inc., and Sterling Infrastructure, Inc.—benefiting from the Fourth Industrial Revolution. STRL and PSIX receive Strong Buy ratings due to robust earnings growth, expanding backlogs, and strong industry tailwinds, while POWL and AGX are rated Hold as valuations reflect future growth. POWL and AGX have delivered impressive returns but may face near-term pullbacks; both maintain strong backlogs and financial health, supporting multi-year growth potential.
HRTG's strong rebound, disciplined underwriting, and cost-effective reinsurance make it a more compelling pick than KINS for higher returns.
