Investors can often position themselves for success in the stock market by focusing on industry leaders that are consistently reporting strong revenue growth. These are usually companies that are benefiting from major tailwinds and have a long runway of growth in their respective industries.

The following growth stocks fit that profile, and despite recently hitting new highs, they still offer excellent long-term return potential.

Roblox (NYSE: RBLX) is a popular interactive gaming platform that has seen its stock take off in 2025. Shares are up nearly 60% year to date, supported by strong financial results. Management is aiming to capture 10% of video game spending, and its track record of growth indicates the company is well on its way.

Video games are one of the largest, if not the largest, entertainment markets. Newzoo estimates annual spending across all gaming platforms is $180 billion, so Roblox believes it can reach $18 billion in annual revenue, up from its trailing-12-month revenue of $3.8 billion. In the first quarter, daily active users increased 26% year over year to 97.8 million. Revenue was up 29% to $1.0 billion. This momentum points to a big opportunity.

Roblox has a unique business model where the company invests in technology and services to support revenue growth, but its user community creates the games and other experiences on its platform. Roblox is on pace to pay out $1 billion in compensation to content creators this year, but it's still seeing healthy increases for key financial metrics like free cash flow. In the first quarter, free cash flow more than doubled over the year-ago quarter and reached $876 million on a trailing-12-month basis.

Total hours spent on the platform continue to position Roblox for growing monetization opportunities over the long term. Players logged 21.7 billion hours last quarter, up 30% year over year. Meanwhile, management is working to grow the advertising business, where it has a partnership with Alphabet's Google to offer video ads through the platform. Ads could drive even more engagement and revenue for the company too. For example, Roblox could offer players free access to premium experiences that are usually locked behind a paywall if they watch an ad.
