With rising demand for online marketplaces, companies have been increasing their digital footprints. The trend is also driving an increased focus on digital marketing.

The rising popularity of entertainment content streaming services over the past year has allowed companies in this space to generate significant returns. However, not all players in this industry have been able to capitalize on the tailwinds. We think collaboration with popular companies and lower-cost subscription choices should help Netflix (NFLX) deliver solid returns in the near-term.

Along with a recovering customer base with the fast reopening of the economy, rising demand for home delivery and drive-thru services are expected to help fast-casual restaurant operators reclaim their pre-pandemic operational levels soon. So, we think two leading casual restaurants, Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) and Shake Shack (SHAK), are well-positioned to capitalize on the industry tailwinds. But let's find out which of these two stocks is a better buy now.

Software stocks Salesforce (CRM) and HubSpot (HUBS) are being rewarded by investors given the rising demand for remote-working software solutions in the current era of hybrid work structures.
