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

17. Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) 

Morgan Stanley operates as a financial holding company and provides different financial services and products to individuals, governments, financial institutions, and corporations. It operates in three segments; wealth management, institutional securities, and investment management. The company has grown its revenue by 15.80% over the last 5 years.

Morgan Stanley shareholders have a lot going their way at the moment. The company offers an attractive dividend yield at 2.81% with a dividend amount that has almost increased threefold in the last 5 years. The dividend strength is stronger than its peers by a long margin.

The only question investors should ask themselves when holding the stock for the next 5 years is if they’re overpaying for the stock today. The stock is at all-time highs and trades at a forward PE of 15.5 while the sector average is around 12. Yes, the stock is overvalued. However, with the Trump administration likely to be lenient on the banks in terms of regulation, 19 upward EPS revisions and a 100% YoY expected EPS growth rate, we believe the valuation is justified.
