3 Large-Cap Stocks That Turned $250,000 Into $1 Million (or More) in 6 Months

For weeks, all eyes have been on the penny stocks and small-cap momentum plays being fueled by retail investors on Reddit and online investing app Robinhood. With emotions ruling the roost, it's not all too surprising to see names like Sundial Growers, AMC Entertainment, and Zomedica getting whipsawed on a daily basis.

What might have flown under your radar is just how well some large-cap stocks have performed in recent months. According to Finviz, there are more than 860 securities with a market cap in excess of $10 billion. Over the past six months, 53 of these large-cap equities have at least doubled in value through Feb. 16.

But for three big companies, a 100% gain would be peanuts. Investors who had the foresight (and perhaps a little bit of luck) to invest $250,000 into the following three large-cap stocks six months ago would have well over $1 million today.
