7 Best-Performing Growth Stocks for November 2026

Seven top-performing U.S. growth stocks for November 2026 showed strong gains on November 9, 2026, with artificial intelligence and network effects driving performance. The list, ranked by one-year performance, highlights companies in technology, e-commerce, and digital infrastructure that are outpacing the broader market.

As of 4:00 PM ET on November 9, 2026, key movers included Broadcom, which surged 8.78%, and Meta Platforms, which rose 5.12%. These stocks are defined by revenue growing faster than average and typically do not pay dividends, contrasting with income stocks and value stocks. The S&P 500 index, which contains roughly 500 of the largest U.S. companies and has returned an average of about 10% per year since 1926, has been weighted more heavily toward such tech stocks over the last decade.

The list was compiled using growth rates of revenue and earnings over the past year and prior year, alongside price-to-earnings ratios and dividend yield. It includes five of the most heavily weighted components of the S&P 500. The analysis also covers the Russell 1000 index, which includes the largest 1,000 U.S. listed companies, across time horizons including year-to-date, and one, three, five, ten, and twenty-five years.

Top Growth Stocks by One-Year Performance

The seven U.S.-listed stocks are ordered by their one-year performance, with AI and digital infrastructure as central themes. The recommended stocks include Alphabet, Amazon, Block, MercadoLibre, Meta Platforms, Nvidia, Shopify, and Uber Technologies. Analyst Adam Levy held positions in Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Uber Technologies at the time of publication.

Growth stocks can be found in sectors beyond technology, including health care and financial sectors. AI stocks have massively increased in value over the last few years. Individual investors, however, usually underperform the market indexes, a point showed by research from DALBAR's Investors Experience Devastating Investor Performance Gap report. Adam Levy noted, "Growth stocks aren't for everyone. They can be much more volatile than other stocks." The article references a common portfolio guideline where investors allocate no more than 10% of their portfolios to individual stocks.

AI and Network Effects as Key Drivers

Specific company performances illustrate the trends. Meta Platforms' rise is linked to its AI investments, particularly its Muse AI agent which has attracted over 10 million users. Nvidia, despite a 4.27% drop on the day, is expanding into CPUs and AI partnerships, supported by a $500 billion fund for data centers. Broadcom's significant gain is tied to its specialization in AI accelerator chips, with Google and Anthropic cited as major customers.

Network effects are equally powerful. Uber's gain leverages its two-sided network in ride-sharing and meal delivery. Block drives revenue through network effects and recurring services via its Square and Cash App platforms. Shopify provides essential e-commerce infrastructure with integrated services and a payments platform. MercadoLibre dominates Latin American e-commerce through continued investments in logistics and payments. Amazon leverages its vast logistics network and cloud computing leadership, while Alphabet benefits from AI-driven advertising and cloud growth via its Gemini AI and custom TPU chips. AppLovin uses its Axon 2 ad optimization model to accelerate revenue growth. Past performance does not predict future results, with these seven stocks representing current market leaders in AI and digital infrastructure growth.
