What are the top 3 ETFs in the Mega cap category?
Earlier we read about top three ETFs in small cap category. In this article, we will look into the top three ETFs in mega cap category. However, before that, let’s understand what mega cap is.
What exactly is Mega-Cap?
As measured by market capitalization, the largest corporations in the financial universe are mega-cap.
Mega-cap firms have a market capitalization of more than $200 billion, and the exact criteria vary depending on market conditions. Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), and Meta (FB), previously Facebook, are just a few of the companies that have significant brand awareness and operate in large regions around the world.
Overview of Mega Cap
Mega-cap stocks often hold a substantial impact in various industry sectors due to the sheer size and volume of sales of goods and services in a given period.
For example, Apple has a market worth over $2 trillion due to continuing iPhone sales strength. Amazon has reached new highs thanks to the success of its retail operations and web services, and Facebook has renamed itself Meta to reflect its future focus.
Currently, there are roughly a dozen businesses listed on the New York Stock Exchange with market capitalizations exceeding $300 billion, most of which are in the technology industry.
