Mega-cap stocks are companies with a market capitalization exceeding $200 billion. They are the largest publicly traded companies in the world, including household names like Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon. These companies typically dominate their industries and are core holdings in major index funds.
Mega-cap stocks are generally considered lower-risk due to their diversified revenue streams, strong balance sheets, and deep market liquidity. However, no stock is completely safe — even mega-caps can experience significant drawdowns during market corrections or company-specific crises. Their size can also limit upside potential compared to smaller, faster-growing companies.
Historically, mega-cap stocks tend to outperform smaller stocks during recessions because they have stronger balance sheets, more diversified revenue, and better access to capital markets. Investors often flock to these "flight to quality" names during economic uncertainty, providing relative downside protection.
