In a sense, every investor is a growth investor. Even those who are primarily seeking income enjoy when the stocks they buy increase in value. But which stocks are likely to deliver growth over the next few years?

Confluent's latest quarterly report came out on Feb. 11, and its share price popped 25% the following day thanks to stronger-than-expected growth and solid guidance that bested Wall Street's expectations.

The group of so-called "Magnificent 7" mega-cap tech giants continue to dominate the mind share of most investors, with these top high-growth companies continuing to see strong inflows as investors look to remain exposed to growth.

Companies that can tap into a specialized market and execute a repeatable and successful business model can be lucrative investments. Chipotle Mexican Grill is a shining example. The company's stock has appreciated over 6,300% since 2006 because it continues to open stores with a focused menu highlighting fresh Mexican cuisine that people enjoy.
