10 Stocks With The Highest Amount Of Cash In Bank Accounts

A lot of analysts have been suggesting that investors might want to consider moving to cash, but what if you’re the type of investor who likes to stay long no matter what, knowing that the market always eventually comes back? 

If that’s the case, instead of moving to cash yourself, you can invest in stocks that have large cash positions. Companies that have large cash positions have several advantages. 


That cash can be used for: 

1. Research and development, which then has the potential to lead to innovation and organic growth. 


2. Acquisitions, which has the potential to lead to inorganic growth. 


3. Increasing shareholder returns via share buybacks and dividends. 


This in turn has the potential to buoy stocks when the broader market is volatile, especially if it’s a new buyback announcement or a dividend increase. 


4. Pay off debt. 


With all that in mind, here are the companies in the S&P 500 Index that hold the most cash...
