After a brief hiatus, the market's bigger-picture pullback appears to be back underway, once again led by the names that were once its most popular picks. While this weakness may feel uncomfortable in the short term, veteran investors often view such pullbacks as potential buying opportunities.
Against that backdrop, here is a closer look at three deeply discounted growth stocks that long-term investors may consider buying on this short-term dip.
UiPath shares are down more than 40% from their early December peak. The sell-off has been tied to broader pressure on AI-related stocks as hype has met fiscal reality, and UiPath is considered an AI stock.
UiPath’s pullback may be attractive to long-term investors because its core approach to automated workflow remains intuitive for end users. The company enables organizations to automate computer work that would otherwise be done manually, including tasks such as data backups, paying invoices (and flagging unusual ones), turning large volumes of documents into actionable insights, and optimizing inventory levels with demand forecasting.
UiPath reported that it turned $481 million in revenue into non-GAAP operating income of $150 million during the final quarter of last year, up 14% and 12% year over year (respectively). The article notes the recent decline is mostly linked to a broader industrywide sell-off, and that the stock is priced at less than 14 times this year’s projected per-share profits.
Remitly Global focuses on making cross-border money transfers easier, even though the process remains complex due to industry regulation designed to prevent unauthorized or impermissible transfers.
The company’s platform handles the technical logistics of cross-border transfers, including any necessary currency exchange. If a transfer is not allowed, the platform does not facilitate the transaction. The article describes the service as functioning similarly to PayPal, Cash App, and Zelle, and says both consumers and enterprises can use the app.
The article also notes that analysts are looking for comparable growth for at least the next couple of years. It highlights a 41% pullback from last February’s peak as a potential opportunity.
Meta Platforms (Facebook parent) is down 28% from August’s high, according to the article. The decline is attributed to investors lumping Meta in with other companies heavily investing in AI, even though the company is not described as a stand-alone AI player.
The article says AI features prominently in Meta’s growth plans. Meta AI is accessible directly from Facebook members’ primary feeds, and the company is also using AI to improve performance in its advertising business. However, the article emphasizes a key distinction: while many AI-focused companies are building stand-alone products tied to broad demand for AI hardware, software, and platforms, Meta remains the preferred social networking platform and uses AI to bolster that existing business.
The article points to operating momentum, stating that fourth-quarter 2025 revenue growth accelerated to a pace of 24%, supported by steady user growth and a 16% year-over-year improvement in average revenue per user. It also notes that total ad impressions delivered grew during the three-month stretch.
Overall, the article argues that investors may benefit from focusing on companies that can apply AI in ways that strengthen existing, proven businesses—positioning Meta as one example.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
