The pandemic has forced governments around the world to take unprecedented
measures in response, including shutdowns of businesses, trillions in financial stimulus
and an enormous push to safeguard public health. Indeed, scientists are currently
speeding different COVID-19 vaccines through trials in a history-making push to
inoculate the world’s population.
Interest rates at this level benefits select corners of the market, including real estate
and commodities like gold. But overall, low interest rates will drive yield-hungry
investors back to the stock market, as it continues to yield much more than Treasuries
and banks.
That doesn’t mean I’m suggesting you park your hard-earned cash in an index fund
and forget it. Far from it. The indexes exist to represent the market as a whole, but
they usually contain a lot of lousy stocks.
At Growth Investor, we’re focused on the industry leaders that can regularly beat the
market, not just follow along or play catch up. That’s why I get superior returns.
So when all of that sidelined cash comes roaring back into the market, my
fundamentally superior stocks are in prime position to take full advantage.
With Growth Investor, my mission is to find you the next big stocks in the large-cap
arena, as well as to steer you away from the duds. Over 30 years in the industry, I’ve
devised a system that analyzes roughly 5,000 stocks, grades them according to eight
specific fundamental factors, and waits for the right signal to buy. In other words, my
flagship service is all about maximizing returns while minimizing risk.
Many of our Growth Investor stocks are also enterprises that dominate their markets
and their industries. These fundamentally superior equities boast double-digit forecast
sales and earnings growth on average.
But in this report, I’m going to show you the six companies that have emerged as the
crème de la crème that you should buy in 2021. With strong sales growth and profits
ahead, these stocks are a must-have for your portfolio in the year ahead…

The company has an interesting story. Veeva Systems was founded in 2007 by Peter
Gassner and Matt Wallach, who had never met before. In fact, they lived 3,000 miles
away from one another. However, they both saw the direction cloud computing was
heading and how it could benefit the life sciences industry.
Today, VEEV offers a variety of cloud computing solutions that fall under the Veeva
Commercial Cloud, a suite of multichannel customer relationship management (CRM)
applications, and Veeva Vault, a cloud-based enterprise content management
application for managing commercial functions. The company has a number of well-
known clients, including AstraZeneca, Teva Pharmaceuticals and Bayer.
Over the years, strong global demand has added nicely to the Veeva Systems’ top and
bottom lines.
In fact, the company released better-than-expected earnings and revenue for its third
quarter on December 1, 2020. Third-quarter revenue increased 34% year-over-year to
$377.5 million, compared to $280.9 million in the same quarter a year ago. Earnings
jumped 32% year-over-year to $125.6 million, or $0.78 per share, up from $95.4
million, or $0.60 per share, in the third quarter of 2019.
The analyst community was expecting earnings of $0.68 per share on $361.82 million
in revenue. So, Veeva Systems posted a 14.7% earnings surprise and a 4.3% revenue
surprise.
Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, Veeva Systems expects to achieve revenue
between $378 million and $380 million, up from $311.5 million in the fourth quarter of
2019. Fourth-quarter earnings are forecast to come in between $0.67 and $0.68, up
from $0.54 per share in the same quarter a year ago.

The company also has a solid outlook for fiscal year 2020: Full-year revenue is
expected to be between $1.446 billion and $1.448 billion and earnings per share are
forecast to be between $2.83 and $2.84, which compares to earnings of $2.19 per
share and revenue of $1.1 billion in fiscal year 2019.
By 1914, the Clorox brand name was registered and synonymous with liquid bleach—
and the rest, as they say, is history.
Over the next 100-plus years, Clorox’s business expanded rapidly. The company’s
namesake bleach was widely used in homes in the 1920s, and Clorox introduced
quart-sized containers of bleach for national distribution. In 1934, Clorox was featured
in Good Housekeeping magazine, a stamp of approval that drove more households to
use Clorox bleach for their cleaning and disinfecting needs.
Today, Clorox operates through four distinct divisions: Cleaning, Household, Lifestyle
and International.
Clorox’s products are sold in more than 100 countries around the globe, and they have
been flying off the shelves during the global coronavirus pandemic. You may have
noticed that Clorox household wipes and other cleaning products haven’t been

2/11/2021 https://navelliergrowth.com/reports/the-top-6-blue-chip-stocks-for-2021/?offer=https%3A%2F%2Forders.investorplace.com%2F%3Fcid%…
For its first quarter in fiscal year 2021, sales increased 27% year-over-year to $1.92
billion, up from $1.51 billion, thanks to growth in eight of Clorox’s 10 businesses. First-
quarter earnings surged 103% year-over-year to $3.22 per share, compared to $1.59
per share in the same quarter a year ago. The consensus estimate called for earnings
of $2.32 per share and sales of $1.75 billion, so Clorox posted a 38.8% earnings
surprise and a 9.7% sales surprise.
Looking forward to full-year 2021, Clorox expects sales to grow between 5% and 9%.
Earnings per share are forecast to come in between $7.70 and $7.95, or 5% to 8%
annual earnings growth. The new outlook reflects the company’s expectations for
double-digit sales growth in the second quarter.
Clearly, the Dollar General Corporation (DG) had humble beginnings but it has now
expanded rapidly.
Today, the Dollar General Corporation has more than 16,000 stores in 45 U.S. states.
The retail chain offers many of America’s most-well-known brands, including Clorox,
Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Unilever, General Mills, Kellog’s and PepsiCo, as well
as the company’s own brands of Clover Valley, Smart and Simple, true living, Comfort
Bay, Bobbie Brooks and DG Health.
The company caters to low-income households that have been hit particularly hard
amidst the recent government stay-at-home orders. These are the same people who
we talked about earlier in the issue—households with less than $40,000 in annual
income. This economic chaos means that folks on unemployment and other

government assistance will need to be very careful with their money. That, in turn,
should drive more foot traffic to Dollar General stores.
Dollar General also reported that third-quarter earnings soared 57.1% year-over-year
to $574.3 million, or $2.31 per share, compared to earnings of $365.6 million, or $1.42
per share in the third quarter of 2019. Analysts were expecting earnings of $2.00 per
share, so Dollar General posted a 15.5% earnings surprise.
During the third quarter, Dollar General bought back $902 million worth of its stock.
The company also recently announced that it will pay a quarterly dividend of $0.36 per
share, up from the $0.32 per share dividend paid in the same quarter a year ago. The
dividend will be paid on January 19 to all shareholders of record on January 5.
Despite the strong quarterly results, Dollar General refrained from providing any
guidance for the fourth quarter or fiscal year 2020. The company cited the continuing
uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic as its reason for not providing an
outlook.
Through DocuSign’s cloud-based platform, companies can develop, upload and send
agreements to all stakeholders for electronic signatures. The agreements can be
approved on practically all devices and from nearly anywhere in the world. In fact,
DocuSign has more than 500,000 customers and millions of users in more than 180
countries.
Total third-quarter revenue for the company soared 53% year-over-year to $382.9
million, which topped analysts’ expectations for $361.15 million. Subscription revenue
accounted for $366.6 million, or a 54% year-over-year increase. Total billings during
the quarter were $44.04 million, a 63% year-over-year jump.
Third-quarter earnings per share doubled to $0.22, up from $0.11 per share in the
same quarter a year ago. The analyst community was expecting earnings of $0.13 per
share, so DocuSign smashed analysts’ estimates by 69.2%.
Looking ahead to the fourth quarter in fiscal year 2021, DocuSign expects total
revenue between $404 million and $408 million. Subscription revenue is anticipated to
account for between $384 million and $388 million. And billings are forecast to be
between $512 million and $522 million.
Bill Gates is probably one of the most well-known Harvard University dropouts. At a
young age, Gates had a proclivity for math and science and was soon captivated by
the inner workings of computers. Not surprisingly, he achieved a near perfect score on
the SATs, which enabled him to enroll at Harvard.
However, Gates dropped out of Harvard after only two years when he decided to start
his own company, Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), with his friend, Paul Allen. Both
were excited about the future of personal computers, and the first product that they
developed in 1975 was a BASIC software that ran on the Altair computer.
In the following years, Gates and Allen developed several other programming
languages, and in 1980, the two were tasked with developing software for IBM’s first
personal computer. The MS-DOS operating system was born and used on the IBM
personal computer in 1981. By the early 1990s, more than 100 million copies of the
MS-DOS system were sold.

Today, Microsoft Corporation is most-known for its Windows operating systems. There
are currently more than 900 million devices utilizing the latest Windows operating
system, Windows 10. But Microsoft Corporation offers much more than just Windows,
including cloud platform Azure, LinkedIn, Xbox hardware and software, the Bing
search engine and Microsoft Office.
Thanks to strong demand for cloud offerings, Microsoft achieved $15.2 billion in
commercial cloud revenue, or a 31% year-over-year increase, in the first quarter of
fiscal 2021. Total first-quarter revenue rose 12% year-over-year to $37.2 billion,
topping estimates for $35.72 billion.
Microsoft also achieved first-quarter earnings of $1.82 per share, or 31.9% annual
earnings growth. Analysts were expecting earnings of $1.54 per share, so Microsoft
beat forecasts by 18.2%.
Microsoft also noted that it returned $9.5 billion to its shareholders in the form of
dividends and stock buybacks during the first quarter. That represented a 21%
increase over the first quarter of fiscal year 2020.
Wall Street expects earnings will increase 16.3% to $6.7 per share in fiscal 2021, and
climb another 25% to $8.4 per share in fiscal 2023. Sales should rise 10% in fiscal
2021 to $157.4 billion, and up to $194.9 billion in fiscal 2023.
However, there is much more to this company than just PDFs. Adobe Systems has
three business segments: Digital Media, Digital Experience and Publishing. Digital
Media encompasses all of Adobe Systems’ popular software, including Photoshop,
InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Acrobat Pro.
While some of these products have been around for nearly three decades, Adobe has
had no problem adapting with the times. Gone are the days where users would have to
pay hundreds of dollars for a single piece of software. Nowadays, Adobe hosts its
software on its Creative Cloud. So users can subscribe to an affordable monthly or

annual plan and obtain access to Adobe’s proprietary software packages and cloud
storage options.
Adobe Systems is also making a splash with the latest round of updates to its video
editing and motion graphics software. The company has unveiled two creative tools
that are powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Video editors can use Adobe’s Sensei AI
platform to match colors between footage taken with multiple cameras. They can also
take advantage of a new audio autoducking feature to do a lot of the legwork with
soundtrack editing. As minor as these changes may sound, they work out to a lot of
time saved.
Along with Digital Media, Adobe Systems also runs a Digital Experience segment. This
division provides marketing and analytics solutions to digital marketers, advertisers,
publishers, web analysts and more. Major market players such as Ford Motors (F),
Marriott International (MAR) and Panasonic Corp. all rely upon Adobe Systems’
marketing and analytics products to reach their respective customer bases.
During the fourth quarter, Adobe achieved revenue of $3.42 billion and earnings of
$2.81 per share. That represented 14% year-over-year revenue growth and 22.7%
year-over-year earnings growth. The analyst community was expecting earnings of
$2.66 per share on $3.36 billion in revenue, so Adobe posted a 5.6% earnings surprise
and a slight revenue surprise.
For fiscal year 2020, Adobe reported earnings of $10.10 per share and revenue of
$12.87 billion, or 28.3% annual earnings growth and 15% annual revenue growth.
These results also topped analysts’ estimates for full-year earnings of $9.94 per share
and revenue of $12.81 billion.
Looking forward to fiscal year 2021, Adobe expects total revenue of about $15.15
billion and earnings of about $11.20 per share. If achieved, that would represent 17.7%
annual revenue growth and 10.9% annual earnings growth.
