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

8. Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM)

Salesforce, Inc. connects customers and companies by offering customer relationship management (CRM) technology. It provides invoices, forecast opportunities, sales to store data, contracts, and other services. The company has grown its revenue by 19.62% over the last 5 years.

Salesforce stock is down considerably this month as we enter the earnings week, with the announcement set for 26th February. One is inclined to think the concerns sparked by DeepSeek AI may be causing the downturn, but analysts are optimistic the company’s AI story is only just getting started.

According to Wedbush Securities analysts, CRM is a clear beneficiary of AI-linked spending.

We believe CRM is a clear 2nd derivative beneficiary of the AI Revolution that could add ~$80 per share to the CRM story as this monetization story takes shape over the next 12 to 18 months, with Benioff & Co. leading the charge and this new era of AI growth.

The company already beat the higher end of its guidance in the third quarter and Q4 should be no different. While the business continues to stay strong, the management is also focusing on cost controls, the effects of which are already starting to emerge in the financial reports. The company’s EBIT is already reaching the 20% mark, the highest ever in its history. The operating margin of 33% is also helping the company translate more of its revenue into profit. With the AI tailwinds and management’s shareholder-friendly policies, the company will remain a strong investment for the next 5 years.
