There is no verifiable long-term evidence or study that stocks with a specific market capitalization (whether Mega/Large/Mid/Small Cap) would consistently yield significantly higher returns than others. There are occasional small studies (few stocks, short investment period) suggesting that certain classes may perform better or have higher risk, but none of them are 1. conclusive (cause-effect relationship is unclear, experiment is not repeatable) or 2. generalizable (generalization is not possible due to small sample size and time period).

Some stock indices use market capitalization as index weighting. Stocks with a higher market capitalization are also weighted higher in the index.
