The company provides various digital subscription products to wellness and weight management businesses, which provide interactive and personalized resources that allow users to follow its weight management program through its app and web-based platform, including personal coaching and digital products.

In addition, it offers various consumer products, including bars, snacks, cookbooks, kitchen tools and other products. Further, the company licenses its trademarks and other intellectual property in food, beverages and other relevant consumer products and services, as well as provides publishing services.

With all five stocks having double-digit upside potential, they make good sense for growth stock investors looking for ideas that will continue to work regardless of the economy or the inflation picture, which all of these should. With second-quarter earnings all but over and a strong year-to-date rally that has driven many stocks higher, it makes sense to buy partial positions here, as we are in the worst time of the year for stocks from a performance standpoint.
