Best Stocks to Buy Now, No. 5: After 30 Years, the Internet Still Offers Huge Profit Potential for This Web Company
With more than half the world's population now online, according to Statista, it's hard to believe the World Wide Web is only 30 years old as of March.
Web presence is indispensable for any business of any size. And thanks to our next pick, small businesses don't have to shell out top dollar to get a beautiful, functional website.
Wix.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: WIX) was founded in 2006 to make the website-building process easier. Wix's cloud-based service comes with a wide variety of customizable templates with drag-and-drop functionality. So smaller organizations can learn the ropes on their own and set up and maintain their site with a minimal investment of time.
The real reason Wix is such a great investment is its e-commerce functionality. According to Statista, e-commerce sales in the United States will reach $735.4 billion by 2023, up 64% from $446.8 billion in 2017.
Wix gives sellers access to this booming market for $25 a month, or $195 for the year.
Wix's low-cost, high-quality model has earned it a huge - and growing - following. In 2019, just 13 years into its existence, Wix passed the 150 million-user mark. And that user base is growing at a 19% annual pace.
Users who pay for premium services now total 4 million and are growing 26% faster than those using the basic service.

Wix's services are only going to become more essential in the coming years. Cybersecurity Ventures projects that Internet users will grow to 6 billion by 2022, a nearly 50% jump from 2018.
And the Web isn't getting simpler, either. Individuals and organizations of all types are going to need dynamic, multifunctional websites that can be easily viewed not only on desktop and laptop computers but on tablets and smartphones.
For those hundreds of millions of potential clients, Wix is going to be the obvious choice.
Money Morning Defense and Tech Specialist Michael Robinson says that makes Wix "one of those stocks that can turbocharge your portfolio for years to come."
