3 Top Large-Cap Stocks to Buy in August

3 Top Large-Cap Stocks to Buy in August

Three large-cap stocks that have helped the market rally in recent months are Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA), and Mastercard (NYSE: MA). There was all sorts of worry about advertising revenue as the pandemic got rolling, and Facebook in particular, with its reliance on small business spending, was a focal point. Total revenue grew 11% year over year with the advertising business up 10% to $18.3 billion and "other" (mostly from Oculus) up 40% to $366 million.
