The key to finding them, in my view, is looking for companies that are expanding rapidly yet still trading at reasonable valuations.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Here, I&#8217;m going to highlight three stocks where I see the potential for significant share price rallies over the next two to three years. For those seeking capital gains, I reckon these names are worth considering.  <\/p>\n<p>            A future FTSE 250 stock?          <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">First up, we have Jet2 (LSE: JET2). It&#8217;s the UK&#8217;s leading package holiday company and the third-largest airline.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">This company has a really impressive growth track record. Over the last nine years, it has grown its revenue from \u00a31.7bn to \u00a37.5bn \u2013 a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 18%.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">It&#8217;s also very profitable. In recent years, its return on capital employed has averaged around 15%.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Yet its valuation is still very reasonable today. Looking at earnings forecasts for this financial year, the forward-looking price-to-earnings (P\/E) ratio is only 12.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Given this valuation, I see scope for outsized returns in years ahead. I&#8217;m assuming here that demand for holidays and flights in the UK remains strong (it may not).  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">One thing that could boost the shares is a move from the UK&#8217;s Alternative Investment Market (AIM) to the Main Market. This should broaden the investor base and lead to FTSE 250 inclusion.  <\/p>\n<p>        A FinTech leader          <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Next, we have Wise (LSE: WISE). It&#8217;s one of the world&#8217;s leading international payments businesses.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">This is another company that&#8217;s growing rapidly. Over the last five years, its revenue has climbed from $550m to $2,503m \u2013 a CAGR of 35%.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Yet, it&#8217;s really not priced like a growth company. At present, it&#8217;s trading on a P\/E ratio of 19.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">At that valuation, I see scope for big returns in the medium term. Sooner or later, investors are going to spot the growth here.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Of course, competition from rivals such as Revolut and TorFX is a risk. International payments is a competitive industry.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">I believe Wise offers the best service in the market, however. Not only does it have the best FX rates but most of its transfers are instant.  <\/p>\n<p>        Demand here is booming          <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Finally, check out Applied Nutrition (LSE:APN). It&#8217;s a fast-growing British fitness supplements company.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Between FY22 and FY25, Applied Nutrition grew its revenue from \u00a335m to \u00a3107m. That represents a CAGR of 45%.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">For FY26 (which ended on 31 July), analysts expect \u00a3160m. For FY27, the consensus forecast is \u00a3205m.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">As for the valuation, the P\/E ratio is about 22. So, we have growth at a reasonable price.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Looking ahead, I expect Applied Nutrition to continue growing. Because younger generations are very focused on health and wellness today.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">That said, a consumer spending slowdown could derail the growth story. After all, a lot of supplements are non-essential goods.  <\/p>\n<p>       What growth stock do we like better than Jet2 Plc right now?         <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">One of our Share Advisor analysts has just released a brand new stock report that we think is a must-read for any investor looking to try and generate potential growth.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">And the best bit is that you can see if for yourself, right now, absolutely free of charge!  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">No jargon.
