Finding the next up-and-coming stock out of nowhere is every investor dream, but sometimes it’s just easier to play it safe with the established companies we all know and love. With the uncertainty of upcoming U.S. interest rate hikes looming over the entire global market, now could be the time to stick to the less-volatile mega-cap stocks.

We typically define “mega-cap” as companies with a market cap over $100 billion, meaning that these stocks belong to some of the largest and most recognizable brands in the world. Luckily, the Zacks Rank can be applied to companies of all shapes and sizes.

With that said, we’ve highlighted three mega-cap giants that could be solid buys right now. If you’re an investor looking to play things a bit safer as the market figures out exactly what it wants to do right now, check out these stocks:
