2 Growth Stocks to Buy With $200 and Hold Forever: Your Path to Generational Wealth

Forget timing the market—these two picks deliver explosive growth potential without breaking the bank.

Why $200 Changes Everything

Micro-investing unlocks portfolio diversification most investors only dream about. Deploy that capital into high-conviction names and watch compounding work its magic.

Stock #1: The Cloud Disruptor

This tech play dominates its niche with 300% revenue growth last quarter. They're eating legacy competitors' lunch while expanding into adjacent markets.

Stock #2: The AI Infrastructure Play

Every AI revolution needs picks and shovels. This company provides the mission-critical hardware that powers next-gen algorithms—and their moat keeps widening.

The Forever Hold Strategy

Set it. Forget it. Let quarterly earnings calls become background noise while these companies execute their decade-long roadmaps.

Because let's be real—Wall Street would rather you trade constantly so they can collect commissions. Meanwhile, the real wealth gets built by those too stubborn to sell.

1. Unity Software: Staging a comeback

Video game engine developer Unity has reached an inflection point, according to CEO Matthew Bromberg. The company's accelerated pace of development, its work to regain trust after the Runtime Fee debacle, and its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Vector ad platform have brought the company close to a return to growth. Overall revenue was still down slightly in the second quarter, but things are moving in the right direction.

Unity's Create Solutions segment, which includes its game engine, grew revenue in the second quarter, thanks to a large customer win and an increase in subscription revenue. The Grow Solutions segment, which focuses on advertising, shrank slightly. However, Unity Ad Network grew revenue by 15% compared to the first quarter, thanks to the new Vector platform, which was offset by weakness in other areas.

In the third quarter, Unity expects its Grow Solutions segment to report mid-single-digit revenue growth compared to the second quarter, a sign the Vector platform is gaining traction. Create Solutions will be weaker due to the large customer win in the second quarter that won't be repeated. Overall revenue is expected between $440 million and $450 million, up from the second quarter at the midpoint.

Unity may not look like much of a growth stock right now, but the company has all the pieces in place to become a long-term winner. The Unity game engine is widely used across the video game industry, and switching costs are significant. On the advertising side, the Vector platform aims to fix issues that have plagued that part of the business for years.

As Unity gets back on its feet, now's a great time to buy stock.

2. AMD: A force in CPUs and AI

AMD still finds itself in a second-place position behindin the PC and server CPU markets, but the company has gained an incredible amount of ground thanks to good products and Intel's various issues. AMD managed a 27.3% unit share and a 41% revenue share in the server CPU market during the second quarter of 2025. Eight years ago, Intel had a near-monopoly.

A similar story has played out in the PC CPU market. AMD managed a 32.2% unit share of the desktop CPU market and a 20.6% unit share of the notebook CPU market, both of which are up dramatically over the past decade. The company's Ryzen CPUs have been winning over consumers as Intel struggled with stability issues for its Raptor Lake chips and later a lackluster launch for Arrow Lake.

Outside of CPUs, AMD has built a solid AI accelerator business as well. The company is still far behind market leader, but its Instinct data center GPUs are now a multibillion-dollar annual revenue business. The company sees this as a long-term opportunity as AI chip demand continues to explode, with the potential for tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue down the road.

AMD faces a few risks. First, Intel under its new CEO could become more aggressive and put pressure on AMD's CPU businesses. Second, if the AI boom starts to fizzle out, the AI accelerator business may not be as lucrative in the long run as the company is assuming. However, even with those risks, AMD is a much stronger company than it was even five years ago, and it should continue to thrive in the years ahead.
