Large-cap stocks have the power to shape entire industries thanks to their size and widespread influence. With such vast footprints, however, finding new areas for growth is much harder than for smaller, more agile players.

These trade-offs can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you find high-quality companies that can grow their earnings no matter what. That said, here is one large-cap stock whose competitive advantages creates flywheel effects and two whose existing offerings may be tapped out.

Two Large-Cap Stocks to Sell:

Deere (DE)

Market Cap: $139.4 billion

Revolutionizing agriculture with the first self-polishing cast-steel plow in the 1800s, Deere (NYSE: DE) manufactures and distributes advanced agricultural, construction, forestry, and turf care equipment.

Why Do We Steer Clear of DE?

Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 14.5% annually over the last two years
Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam
High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 7× could force the company to raise capital at unfavorable terms if market conditions deteriorate

At $514.67 per share, Deere trades at 30.9x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why DE doesn’t pass our bar.

Keysight (KEYS)

Market Cap: $36.8 billion

Spun off from Hewlett-Packard in 2014, Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) offers electronic measurement products for use in various sectors.

Why Is KEYS Not Exciting?

New orders were hard to come by as its average backlog growth of 1.1% over the past two years underwhelmed
Earnings per share fell by 7.3% annually over the last two years while its revenue was flat, showing each sale was less profitable
Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

Keysight’s stock price of $213.29 implies a valuation ratio of 26.5x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with KEYS, check out our full research report (it’s free).

One Large-Cap Stock to Watch:

Qualcomm (QCOM)

Market Cap: $169.5 billion

Having been at the forefront of developing the standards for cellular connectivity for over four decades, Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) is a leading innovator and a fabless manufacturer of wireless technology chips used in smartphones, autos and internet of things appliances.

Why Could QCOM Be a Winner?

Market share has increased this cycle as its 15.3% annual revenue growth over the last five years was exceptional
Strong free cash flow margin of 28.9% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently, and its improved cash conversion implies it’s becoming a less capital-intensive business
ROIC punches in at 47%, illustrating management’s expertise in identifying profitable investments

Qualcomm is trading at $159.43 per share, or 13.5x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
