March 2023 was a volatile month for the capital markets, with the failure of three U.S. banks sparking recession fears among investors. Such fears eased toward the end of the month after the Federal Reserve hinted that it might at least pause its interest-rate-hiking campaign, if not cut rates by the end of the year.

This helped the stock market end the first quarter on a positive note. The S&P 500 gained about 7%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite soared almost 17% in the first quarter. Let’s take a look at the five best- and worst-performing large-cap stocks in Q1 2023.
