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

15. Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) 

Alphabet Inc. is a platforms and products provider that operates in Google Cloud, Google Services, and Other Bets segments. Its products and services include Chrome, Google Drive, YouTube, AI infrastructure, data and analytics, and others. The company has grown its revenue by 17.30% over the last 5 years.

GOOGL’s stock price faced a decline after it released Q4 earnings results which were below estimates. Though the company recorded a 13% YoY increase in revenue, it was $200 million less than expectations. Despite that, the company continues to be a leader in tech, especially emerging AI technologies. Even though DeepSeek AI has rattled some investors since last month, the firm’s superior tech should be able to beat any similar competition to maintain its lead.

Alphabet also started paying dividends the previous year and also paid off some debt. Last year the company generated $72.764 million of free cash flows and distributed almost 100% of its FCF in the form of dividends and buybacks. It holds a dominant market position and the short-term downturn in the stock price should be taken as a rewarding opportunity, especially by the dividend growth investors. If the growth slows down, investors can rely on the management’s willingness to share profits with the shareholders, keeping the downside limited.
