Loading up on growth stocks while they're down big can set up investors for significant gains later on. It's important, however, to understand why they are struggling before buying them, so that investors are aware of any risks involving them. Three growth stocks that may look incredibly appealing to long-term investors right now are Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), Intuit (NASDAQ:INTU), and Coupang (NYSE:CPNG).
