From founder transitions and temporary pullbacks to emerging market volatility and accounting adjustments, short-term noise obscures powerful structural growth. Each of these companies demonstrates disciplined execution, strong cash flow, and scalable business models—creating rare opportunities for investors willing to focus on fundamentals rather than headlines.

In 1999, the S&P 500 peaked. Then it took 14 years to gradually recover by 2013.

Today? Goldman Sachs sounds crazy forecasting 3% returns for 2024 to 2034.

But we’re currently seeing the highest price for the S&P 500 compared to earnings since the dot-com boom.

So, maybe that’s why they’re not alone; Vanguard projects about 5%.

In fact, now just about everything seems priced near all time highs. Equities, gold, crypto, etc.

But billionaires have long diversified a slice of their portfolios with one asset class that is poised to rebound.

It’s post war and contemporary art.

Sounds crazy, but over 70,000 investors have followed suit since 2019—with Masterworks.

You can invest in shares of artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.

24 exits later, results speak for themselves: net annualized returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%.*

Five years ago, Cameco Corporation $CCJ ( ▼ 0.79% ) shares were trading at much lower levels, but as today, the stock closed at $107.56—representing a massive 651.64% rise over the last five years, fueled by the global shift toward nuclear energy and a $46.8B market cap.

This explosive growth reflects a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 49.7%, meaning your money would have grown by nearly 50% each year on average. By following a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy and committing $500 every month for five years (totaling $30,000), you would have navigated the uranium market's volatility by acquiring more shares during minor pullbacks and fewer during vertical climbs.

Projecting forward at this historical pace with a monthly growth rate of approximately 3.4%, your total investment could reach $112,544 by 2031, resulting in a gain of $82,544—a 275.1% return. While the nuclear sector faces regulatory changes and a 52-week high of $114.45 highlights its recent peak strength, CCJ’s critical role in the clean energy transition provides a powerful tailwind; if you keep this steady drill running, your $500 monthly habit could strike a radioactive windfall by 2031—but as global energy policies change, will you be leading the charge or left in the fallout when the next supply crunch hits?

Market sentiment often penalizes companies for changes that don’t affect long-term fundamentals. Shift4 $FOUR ( ▼ 0.17% ) , a $4.5 billion fintech company, exemplifies this pattern. Over the past year, the stock has declined 36%, largely due to the departure of founder and former CEO Jared Isaacman, now leading NASA. Despite this, the company remains under capable leadership, and Isaacman continues to be the largest shareholder—a strong alignment with long-term shareholder interests.

While headlines highlight debt levels or acquisition activity, the reality shows a company carefully managing growth:

Key metrics and context:

Bear concerns often center on whether acquisitions will deliver expected synergies and growth. So far, evidence suggests the strategy is working: cost reductions and revenue growth from acquisitions are materializing, making debt more manageable than headlines suggest.

Additional tailwinds:

Summary: Shift4 $FOUR ( ▼ 0.17% ) remains fundamentally sound, trading at a valuation that still favors reward over risk for long-term investors. Strategic debt, growth-oriented acquisitions, and event-driven tailwinds make current weakness a potential opportunity rather than a warning.

DLocal $DLO ( ▼ 1.17% ) , a fintech company operating in Latin America, illustrates the market’s occasional inability to price growth properly. While the stock is up 27.6% over the past 12 months, it remains down 9.7% over three years, reflecting volatility unrelated to core business performance.

Growth and financial highlights:

Technical indicators:

DLocal represents a classic case where disciplined investors can leverage market misunderstandings to accumulate a profitable, high-growth fintech at attractive valuations.

Rubrik $RBRK ( ▼ 0.77% ) , a cybersecurity company valued at approximately $15B, demonstrates the high-growth, early-stage tech dynamic. Unlike mature companies, it has yet to generate net earnings, but free cash flow of 21.5% shows operational efficiency and financial discipline.

Recent performance:

Revenue projections:

Deceleration in projected revenue growth is explained by accounting adjustments (a transition from tailwind to headwind) rather than by structural weakness. Rubrik maintains a focus on the trifecta of topline growth, innovation, and profitability, which should continue to compound value for patient investors.

Industry context:

For investors comfortable with growth-focused metrics rather than near-term earnings, Rubrik offers significant upside in a sector with strong secular tailwinds.

Across these three companies, several shared traits emerge that make them compelling for disciplined, long-term investors:

DLocal:

Rubrik:

Investment principles highlighted:

For the overwhelmed investor juggling multiple priorities, the takeaway is clear: volatility is not a sign of weakness; it is an entry point.

Actionable insights:

By focusing on the long-term fundamentals and treating short-term volatility as an opportunity, investors can identify mispriced assets that the market has temporarily overlooked. These three companies demonstrate that patient, informed investing often rewards those willing to look past the noise and focus on execution, cash generation, and scalable growth.
