Megacap stocks are behemoths that set the tone for their industries, and their massive scale typically leads to wide moats. However, the downside is that most have already exploited their existing market opportunities and must invest heavily to expand further, a risky proposition.

Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) has had its final legal appeal rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court over a US$47 million FCC penalty tied to customer location data.
