In this article, we will take a look at some of the high growth mega cap stocks you can buy and hold for the next 3 years.
These days, everyone’s into big names. Perhaps because they make the headlines or provide both stability and reliability. Well, there are countless reasons to invest in such stocks, with some weighing heavily on the attractiveness of other, more emerging, stocks.
Mega-cap stocks, as the name suggests, are the stocks of the largest publicly traded companies in the market, usually with a market capitalization of $200 billion or more. From protection during turbulent times to strong fundamentals, the benefits of investing in these stocks are plenty.
Many equity market observers have noticed that the earnings growth among the largest companies in the S&P 500 has improved over the years. As stated by research analyst, Saketh Reddy:
“Ten years ago, the top 50 market cap stocks had an average projected long-term earnings growth rate of 11.7%, compared to 10.0% for the rest of the index. Today, that gap has widened. The top 50 boast 12.7%, while the rest have declined to 9.3%.”
