These three companies are distinct, and their stocks present a range of risk-reward considerations for investors. I'm going to run through them in ascending order of risk and reward potential, so industrial software company PTC (PTC 1.24%) is probably the lowest risk, followed by machine vision specialist Cognex (CGNX 1.31%), and then air taxi manufacturer Joby Aviation (JOBY 3.17%).
Artificial intelligence (AI) may be the hottest story in markets today, but its most powerful effects are only beginning to spill over into robotics.

These three stocks are fundamentally sound companies with excellent underlying growth prospects. However, shares in machine vision expert Cognex (CGNX -1.01%), advanced materials company Hexcel (HXL -0.94%), and Tesla (TSLA 2.28%) all declined in the first half of 2025.
While Cognex delivered solid Q2 results, I am now cautious due to the soft demand environment, and the potential delayed impact of tariffs. Growth appears set to strengthen in the coming quarters, but further margin gains are likely to be more modest. While automation and AI adoption support Cognex's long-term outlook, the stock is now more fully valued.
Investors often talk about growth stocks in terms of their cyclical growth (tied to the economy) and secular growth (benefiting from a structural and fundamental change in an industry). The distinction is beneficial to understand when looking at machine vision company Cognex (CGNX 0.20%).
