After a strong performance in January, the stock market lost pace in the second month of the year. All three major U.S. indexes ended the month in the red as investors had no clear idea whether interest rates would remain high or not.

The S&P 500 slipped 2.61%, the Dow by 4.19%, while the Nasdaq lost 1.11%. The drop, however, is an opportunity for investors to acquire quality stocks at a discount. Let’s take a look at the five best and worst performing mega-cap stocks in Feb 2023.
