Investing in the stock market appears to be a daunting task, especially in today's age. While investors of the late 1900s and even the first decade of this millennium could rely on a handful of sources for their investment decisions, today's digital age is inundated with countless streams of financial information. Whether it's social media platforms such as Twitter or Reddit, or mainstream media like the Wall Street Journal or CNBC, for the everyday investor picking out the right stocks is often a daunting task.

This investment journey is further complicated by the thousands of publicly listed stocks. For instance, the NASDAQ Composite one of the largest and most widely followed stock market indexes in the U.S. has more than 2,500 stocks listed on it. On the other hand, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) which is the world's largest stock exchange in terms of market capitalization, has roughly 2,300 companies that trade exclusively on it. As a whole, according to the NYSE's estimates, there are 8,000 securities listed on U.S. exchanges.

These securities are bifurcated based on their market capitalization. According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) - a private U.S. self regulator - there are five categories of stocks. These are micro, small, mid, large, and mega caps, with the market capitalization of the firms starting from less than $250 million for the micro segment and going above $200 billion for the mega cap companies.

Each of these has its own set of advantages and drawbacks. For instance, micro cap companies can promise high returns through small share price movements but come at the risk of low liquidity. At the other end of the spectrum, mega cap stocks offer stability, but at the expense of a loss of return in the form of opportunity costs of having missed out on the smaller companies.

Today, we'll take a look at some high growth large cap stocks, out of which the top ones are Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN), argenx SE (NASDAQ:ARGX), and Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:LCID).

Our Methodology

We used the Finviz stock screener as an initial reference to generate a list of large cap companies whose market capitalization ranges between $10 billion to $200 billion. These were then filtered out to only include those companies whose quarterly sales have grown by more than 30%. However, as is the case with most stock screeners, revenue growth estimates for several companies were flat out wrong. So, each entry in the list was manually verified to make sure that the screener had the right percentage and that the information was accurate. Out of the final list, the top fifteen were chosen, after taking special care to ensure that the growth came from their organic revenue and not one off factors.
