But beating the market can also be a daunting task, considering you have the opportunity to buy shares in thousands of enticing businesses.

So to help get you started, we asked five top Motley Fool contributors each to pick a stock they believe investors would be wise to buy in Here's why they chose Under Armour 's C shares NYSE: UA , T-Mobile US NASDAQ: PLAY , Diamondback Energy NASDAQ: FANG , and Core Laboratories NYSE: Steve Symington Under Armour C Shares: That said, Under Armour is set to achieve that longer-term revenue growth despite a recent slowdown in the North American apparel industry -- which effectively sits at Under Armour's core -- thanks to faster-than-expected growth of both its footwear and international businesses.

But for patient, long-term investors, I think now is a great time to consider opening or adding to a position in Under Armour. Jamal Carnette, CFA T-Mobile: T-Mobile's CEO John Legere has been the biggest force of change in the U. After instituting his "Un-carrier" plans designed to eliminate traditional pain points of cell-phone ownership, Legere has presided over the strongest wireless growth of any of the major carriers. As the chart below shows, investors have noticed:.

TMUS data by YCharts. However, wireless consumers nearly missed out on Legere's Un-carrier initiatives thanks to multiple suitors attempting to acquire the company. However, there's been a huge change of fortunes at the FCC. Outgoing Democratic chairman Tom Wheeler was recently replaced by Republican Ajit Pai, who is widely expected to be a more favorable chairman to business-friendly rulings like the repeal of net neutrality, and more friendly toward mergers and acquisitions.

In that context, it's notable Son was one of the first executives to make the trek to Trump Tower to trumpet his commitment to creating U. It makes sense to pay close attention to T-Mobile in The company's motto, "Eat. Watch" has been a hit with millennials and families alike, and the company's stock has been on a tear as a result: The high-margin gaming factor helps the company produce industry-leading store EBITDA earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization margins.

The good news for investors is that there is plenty of room to run. Dave and Buster's had stores operating at the end of and plans to open an additional 11 or 12 new stores this year. Also, its global potential remains largely untapped. The company signed its first international agreement in and its first store is expected to open in Dubai in , with seven locations to follow in seven years' time. In addition to its rising stock, the company's financials have momentum as well.

Its revenue jumped Matt DiLallo Diamondback Energy: Amid all the carnage in the oil patch over the past two years, there has been a dramatic reset in the cost structure of shale drilling.

Companies operating in the Permian Basin can now earn phenomenal drilling returns at current prices, enabling many to return to growth mode at much lower oil prices than they ever imagined. This monumental shift in the sector has Diamondback Energy poised for great things in and beyond. That growth is coming just as the oil market appears to be finally turning a corner.

However, as impressive as that growth rate is, Diamondback Energy is just scratching the surface of its potential. The company believes that it has the resource and acreage position to support 15 to 20 drilling rigs, well above the eight it plans to run this year.

Demand for Core Labs products and services took a hit as oil and gas commodity prices tumbled, but the new administration in Washington hopes to reignite domestic production, and that could send this company's sales and profit higher.

If growing production actively boosts Core Labs' top line, then management's cost-reduction and automation plans could mean that growth has an even bigger positive impact on profit than in the past.

Overall, if you think that the worst is behind the oil and gas industry, then Core Labs ought to be a top stock to buy in Daniel Miller owns shares of Core Laboratories.
