Figma</h2><p>Software company Figma went public earlier this year, and while it started out hot, the excitement quickly died down. On Dec. 16, the stock was trading at around $36, which is far lower than where it traded on its first day on July 31, when it opened at $85.</p><p>There have been concerns about its valuation because it trades at a forward price-to-earnings multiple (P.E) of nearly 90. But with the company still in the early innings of its growth and with its margins likely to improve over time, now may be a good time to load up on it for the long haul.</p><p>Figma's attractively priced design software focuses on collaboration and innovation, which has made it a hit with many businesses; a staggering 95% of Fortune 500 companies use its products.</p><p>In the company's most recent quarter, which ended Sept. 30, its revenue rose by 38% year over year, and it raised its full-year guidance. The stock could make for an underrated buy right now.</p><h2>2. Zoetis</h2><p>Animal health company Zoetis is another promising growth stock that could be a good buy. Its shares have fallen 24% this year after its latest earnings numbers disappointed investors. Revenue for the quarter ended Sept. 30 rose by just 1% to $2.4 billion, although its net income totaled $721 million and was up by 6%.</p><p>According to its numbers, Zoetis has grown its business, on average, faster than the overall animal health market for the past decade. And with a constant focus on innovation and bringing new medications to market, there's reason to remain optimistic that the company will bounce back and improve upon its growth in the future.</p><p>With innovation and global expansion, the business still has plenty of levers to help drive growth in the future. Its reduced share price means that it's now trading at a forward P/E of 18, which is lower than the <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong> average of 22. The stock also pays around 2% in dividends.</p><h2>3. Pinterest</h2><p>Another stock that hasn't been doing well this year is Pinterest, the social media site where users save (or &#34;pin&#34;) things that they're interested in. It's down 11%, and experienced a hefty drop when it recently posted earnings numbers. Unfortunately, the company fell short of expectations as adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.38, below the $0.42 that analysts were expecting for the period ended Sept. 30.</p><p>A drop after earnings, however, can be a good time to buy a quality stock because the market can sometimes overreact to a miss. Pinterest still generated strong revenue growth of 17% for the quarter, with its sales rising to more than $1 billion. And net income of $92 million was a solid 9% of revenue. Pinterest also has a strong and growing community, which recently topped 600 million monthly active users.</p><p>The stock trades at an incredibly low forward P/E multiple of 12. At a $17 billion market cap, its valuation looks light compared with other social media stocks, especially given its strong user numbers.</p><h2>Should you invest $1,000 in Figma right now?</h2><p>Before you buy stock in Figma, consider this:</p><p>The <em>Motley Fool Stock Advisor</em> analyst team just identified what they believe are the <strong>10 best stocks</strong> for investors to buy now… and Figma wasn’t one of them.
