After a brutal 2022, the stock market has returned to a more optimistic outlook in 2023. With stocks rallying, now might be a good time to take a swing at some more aggressive opportunities. These six higher-risk stocks have seen their shares underperform amid heavy volatility. There are various reasons for that, including high leverage, challenged business models and great uncertainty around a potential recession.

However, if these companies can get things right, they could be set to dramatically outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These stocks aren't for everyone. But for people who can withstand volatility and are looking for significant upside, these six aggressive stocks could be the ticket:

Unity Software Inc. (ticker: U). Unity is one of the two primary independent graphics engines that power modern games. Unity appears set to become a major player in the metaverse and augmented reality ecosystems. In addition to gaming, Unity has begun to develop secondary uses for its graphics technology such as in architecture and modeling, e-commerce, and video animation. Unity is only marginally profitable and still has to improve its monetization efforts. But with the stock down more than 75% from its peak, aggressive investors could be getting a favorable entry point here.

Sabre Corp. (SABR). Sabre is one of the three primary global distribution systems, or GDS, for the travel industry. Revenues collapsed during the pandemic, and Sabre had just made a large investment in upgrading its information technology systems. This leaves Sabre in an interesting position now. It has about $4 billion in net debt against a market cap of just $1.3 billion. Shares trade for about $4, a steep discount to their more than $20-per-share price before the pandemic. If Sabre can leverage the travel recovery and its new IT systems to return to profitability, shares could skyrocket.
