Some of the most successful companies started with business models that likely seemed unusual at first. Investors willing to take a chance on what may appear to be a quirky approach could find a surprisingly strong set of financials and a compelling case for future growth. Three companies that stand out in this way are Fulgent Genetics Inc. (NASDAQ: FLGT), Joby Aviation Inc. (NYSE: JOBY), and Veritone Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI).
All three companies take unusual approaches to their respective industries, but all make a compelling case based on their financial performance. They may suggest to investors that thinking outside the box is beneficial, provided the investment target has a strong value proposition.
