13 High Growth Large Cap Stocks To Invest In

Page 1 of 11

In this article, we discuss 13 High Growth Large Cap Stocks To Invest In. 

After two years of 25%+ gains, some investors worry that stocks are overvalued. Historically, the third year of a bull market is not usually spectacular, but it is not typically negative either. A lot depends on factors like interest rates and global tensions. According to Morgan Stanley, investor sentiment has maintained a familiar pattern over the years, with pessimism in late 2022, skepticism throughout 2023 even as stocks soared, and now, growing optimism for 2025. The real turning point could be AI. If businesses embrace artificial intelligence the way they did the internet in the late ’90s, it could result in a productivity boom that keeps the market rally going. As for stocks, big tech still reigns supreme, but valuations are much lower than during the dotcom bubble, making them less risky. Still, Morgan Stanley believes a smart strategy for 2025 might be balancing tech investments with financials and industrials to stay diversified.

In 2024, large-cap growth stocks in the United States had another strong year, with the Russell Growth Index climbing 33.4%, mostly powered by a concentrated group of major tech and communication companies, commonly known as the Magnificent Seven. By December, these handful of stocks were responsible for a huge chunk of the gains. Growth stocks kept their winning streak in the fourth quarter, outpacing value stocks by 9.2%, according to a report by LSEG. Over the past decade, they have consistently beat the Russell Value index, averaging 7% higher annual returns.

Investors are on edge as trade policies shake up the market, wiping out $4 trillion from recent highs. Fears of an economic slowdown have triggered a major sell-off, with the broader market dropping 2.7%, its worst day of the year, while the Nasdaq plunged 4% on March 10. Since peaking in February, the wider market has fallen 8.6% as of March 10, inching toward correction territory. Tech stocks, which drove market gains in 2023 and 2024, are also struggling in 2025, pulling major indexes down. Hedge funds are also backing away, cutting stock exposure at the fastest rate in over two years. Optimism around pro-growth policies has receded as uncertainty blooms in the market. Even with recent losses, stock valuations remain near record highs, leaving investors bracing for more volatility ahead. With this market outlook in mind, let’s take a look at some of the top high growth large cap stocks to invest in.

Our Methodology

For this article, we used the Finviz screener to identify large-cap stocks with market capitalizations ranging from approximately $10 billion to $200 billion as of March 14. We then applied a filter to select stocks with a 5-year revenue growth exceeding 20%, verifying this data through additional sources. Using Insider Monkey’s Q4 2024 hedge fund database, we examined the hedge fund sentiment for each stock and selected 13 most popular ones. The stocks are ranked in ascending order based on the average 5-year revenue growth.

Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter’s strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points (see more details here).

I work for one of the largest independent financial publishers in the world – representing over 1 million people in 148 countries.

We’re independently funding today’s broadcast to address something on the mind of every investor in America right now…

Should I put my money in Artificial Intelligence?

Here to answer that for us… and give away his No. 1 free AI recommendation… is 50-year Wall Street titan, Marc Chaikin.

Marc’s been a trader, stockbroker, and analyst. He was the head of the options department at a major brokerage firm and is a sought-after expert for CNBC, Fox Business, Barron’s, and Yahoo! Finance…

But what Marc’s most known for is his award-winning stock-rating system. Which determines whether a stock could shoot sky-high in the next three to six months… or come crashing down.

That’s why Marc’s work appears in every Bloomberg and Reuters terminal on the planet…

And is still used by hundreds of banks, hedge funds, and brokerages to track the billions of dollars flowing in and out of stocks each day.

He’s used this system to survive nine bear markets… create three new indices for the Nasdaq… and even predict the brutal bear market of 2022, 90 days in advance.
