Large-cap stocks

Large-cap stocks are stocks of companies that have a high market capitalization, usually in the billions of dollars. Large-cap stocks are part of the top 65% of market cap and are stable, often paying dividends, making them less risky than small and mid-cap stocks. These companies are usually well-known household names with a stable income and a record of success. Large cap companies include industry giants such as Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon.
