DoorDash (NYSE: DASH) has been one of the biggest pandemic winners, as people have ordered food more than ever to protect themselves from COVID-19 – and avoid cooking. But with the pandemic nearing its conclusion, DoorDash's best (growth) days may be behind it.

Boston Beer (NYSE: SAM) shares have been trending lower as investors question the brewer's post-pandemic prospects. But the company, led by Truly hard seltzer, is set to thrive in 2021 and beyond.

Carvana (NYSE: CVNA), an e-commerce platform for buying and selling used cars, is set to report its first quarter earnings tomorrow after the bell. Shares have been stuck in neutral since the turn of the calendar, but the magnitude of Carvana's long-term opportunity could send shares a lot higher.

Pinterest (NYSE: PINS) reported its fiscal first quarter earnings a week ago, and investors were not happy with what they heard from the social media firm; shares are down more than 21% in the five sessions since the release. While some of the disappointment is justified, the sell-off has been overdone and presents investors with a buying opportunity.

Square (NYSE: SQ) is set to report its fiscal first quarter earnings on Thursday after the bell. The fintech has a lofty valuation, but you should expect strong growth for many years to come.

Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) is set to report its fiscal Q2 2021 earnings tomorrow; the coffee giant's business collapsed in fiscal Q3 2020, but sales have improved each of the last two quarters.

Kohl's (NYSE: KSS) shares languished for much of 2020 as the pandemic ravaged department stores. But shares have been on a tear since the vaccine news came out - do they have more room to run?
