3 Top Large-Cap Stocks to Buy in May
First-quarter 2021 earnings season is in full swing, and many companies are surpassing expectations at a record pace. The economy is in rebound mode this year, and cloud-based software is being put to work to unlock new growth opportunities and new efficiencies. Worries the market could be headed for a sell-off are a constant concern, but healthy earnings growth underpins what is shaping up to be another good year for investors.
To that end, three large-cap stocks that look like great buys in May are Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC), and Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ: ZM). Here's why.
Apple is an incredible growth story. Though it's the largest of the FAANG stocks (with a market cap of over $2.2 trillion as of this writing), it also posted the fastest sales expansion among its fellow tech titans to kick off the new year. Revenue and net income surged a respective 54% and 110% higher year over year (YOY) during the first quarter (Apple's fiscal 2021 second quarter).
