The market is likely to be driving excessive immediately however there are nonetheless loads of doubtlessly profitable alternatives for a Shares and Shares ISA. Specifically, some high-quality development shares which have fallen by double digits look engaging to me.
Listed below are two that I believe long-term traders ought to think about snapping up in March (or earlier than) for an ISA.

Down 25%
Let’s begin with Sensible (LSE:WISE), which surged 17% a month in the past however has since misplaced nearly all these positive aspects.
The explanation for the rise was robust buying and selling within the cash switch agency’s Q3 2026 (ended 31 December). It stated cross-border quantity jumped 26% yr on yr at fixed forex to £47.4bn, serving to underlying earnings rise 21% to £424.4m.
By providing a less expensive and quicker service, Sensible is aiming to grow to be the world’s main community for shifting cash round. And it’s making strides in the direction of this, with 74% of transfers made immediately in the course of the quarter, up from 65% the yr earlier than.
A deal was signed to ship Google Pay for patrons within the Philippines, whereas the Sensible journey card was launched in India. The agency ended the quarter with practically 11m lively prospects, together with a rising variety of companies.
In fact, as Sensible strikes deeper into advanced markets like India and South Africa, regulatory and compliance dangers multiply. Revolut additionally poses a possible aggressive risk, with its considerably bigger buyer base.
Nevertheless, on stability, I believe the inventory’s value contemplating after falling 25% since September. It’s buying and selling at 22.5 occasions ahead earnings, which I don’t see as costly for a solidly worthwhile agency with loads of development left within the tank.
Lastly, it’s value noting that Sensible will checklist its shares in New York by June. This could increase the corporate’s profile in a serious development market whereas opening up its shares to a a lot bigger pool of US traders.
Down 44%
The second UK share I need to spotlight is Autotrader (LSE:AUTO). This FTSE 100 member has nosedived 44% in simply six months!
There seems to be two major causes. First, the corporate has upset some automotive sellers with its Deal Builder product, leading to a few of them cancelling and downgrading their subscription packages.
Nevertheless, administration’s working exhausting to resolve these gripes. And whereas most automotive patrons proceed to browse Autotrader’s platform, sellers will have to be there too. I don’t see this subject breaking the agency’s highly effective community impact.
Second, the inventory’s been caught up in the entire knowledge/software program sell-off. For Autotrader, the worry seems associated to disintermediation.
In different phrases, if a purchaser can simply ask an AI app, “find me a white Mercedes A45 within 50 miles of Luton with full service history”, the AI might pull knowledge instantly from vendor web sites. Autotrader might begin shedding its gatekeeper standing.
Whereas a possible danger, it’s value noting that Autotrader beforehand survived the aggressive risk from Fb Market. The model is very trusted, with 82% of customers habitually going on to its website. For the opposite 18%, Autotrader’s growing its visibility inside AI apps like ChatGPT.
Trying forward, the federal government’s new electrical automobile grant’s anticipated to help additional quantity development.
And with Autotrader buying and selling at simply 12.5 occasions ahead earnings, whereas shopping for again a great deal of its personal shares, I believe this inventory dip seems to be engaging and value enthusiastic about.
