3 Large-Cap Stocks Worth Investigating
Large-cap stocks usually command their industries because they have the scale to drive market trends. The flip side though is that their sheer size can limit growth as expanding further becomes an increasingly challenging task.
This dynamic can trouble even the most skilled investors, but luckily for you, we started StockStory to help you navigate these trade-offs and uncover exceptional companies that break the mold. That said, here are three large-cap stocks that still have big upside potential.
MercadoLibre (MELI)
Market Cap: $95.6 billion
Originally started as an online auction platform, MercadoLibre (NASDAQ:MELI) is a one-stop e-commerce marketplace and fintech platform in Latin America.
Why Do We Love MELI?
- Customers are spending more money on its platform as its average revenue per user has increased by 77.7% annually over the last two years
- Share repurchases over the last three years enabled its annual earnings per share growth of 45.9% to outpace its revenue gains
- MELI is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders, and its rising cash conversion increases its margin of safety
At $1,885 per share, MercadoLibre trades at 21.1x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
Blackstone (BX)
Market Cap: $102.4 billion
With over $1 trillion in assets under management and investments spanning real estate, private equity, credit, and hedge funds, Blackstone (NYSE:BX) is a global alternative asset manager that invests capital on behalf of pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and other institutional investors.
Why Is BX a Top Pick?
- Annual revenue growth of 21.2% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
- Additional sales over the last two years increased its profitability as the 24.2% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
Blackstone is trading at $128.60 per share, or 20.2x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
Occidental Petroleum (OXY)
Market Cap: $55.65 billion
Backed by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway as a major shareholder, Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY) explores for, develops, and produces oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas, primarily in the United States and Middle East.
Why Does OXY Stand Out?
- Impressive 6.1% annual revenue growth over the last ten years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
- Dominant market position is represented by its $21.45 billion in revenue and gives it fixed cost leverage when sales grow
- Strong free cash flow margin of 24.1% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently
Occidental Petroleum’s stock price of $55.95 implies a valuation ratio of 10.6x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
