20 High Growth Mega Cap Stocks You Can Buy And Hold For Next 5 Years

10. Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) 

Meta Platforms, Inc. develops products that help people interact and share with family and friends through PCs, wearables, mobile devices, and other platforms. It operates in the Reality Labs (RL) and Family of Apps (FoA) segments. The company has grown its revenue by 19.06% over the last 5 years.

Some of META’s growth in the recent past has come on the back of success in implementing AI in its advertising business. However, Mark Zuckerberg’s AI plans are grander than just AI in advertising. He plans to have the best open-source AI models in the world and is investing heavily in making that dream a reality.

The company’s Llama model received 650 million download requests in 2024, with Meta AI crossing the 600 million daily active users mark by the end of the same year. Meta is making good use of this popularity by launching LlamaCon, a developer conference where Meta can launch its latest AI tools.

As in years past, we’ll share the latest and greatest in Meta Horizon updates, peel back the curtain on tomorrow’s tech, and give XR devs the tools they need to help build for the next computing platform today.

While it’s too early to say if the company’s ambitions will bear fruit, if you do believe in these ventures, the time to buy the stock is now as the company continues investing heavily into AI, with $65 billion expected to be poured into AI infrastructure in 2025.
