For the past 14 months, the “Magnificent Seven” have been the show’s stars.
These seven heavyweight stocks — think Apple (AAPL), Tesla (TSLA), Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Nvidia (NVDA), Amazon (AMZN), and Meta Platforms (META) — have shouldered the market rally.
Their ascent has been nothing short of spectacular.
But lately, three of these megastars are showing signs of fatigue.
Let’s take a closer look:
- Apple (AAPL): Once soaring, it hovers where it was in early May last year. The peak in December seems like a distant memory.
- Tesla (TSLA): After hitting its zenith in July 2023, Tesla’s trajectory has been decidedly downward. The road ahead looks bumpy.
- Alphabet (GOOGL): Despite a January peak, Alphabet’s recent trading mirrors its position from August/September last year. The magic seems to have faded.
Now, let’s meet the “Fabulous Four” — the resilient ones:
- Nvidia (NVDA): Scaling all-time highs, Nvidia is riding a rocket. Its graphics chips power more than just gaming consoles.
- Amazon (AMZN): The e-commerce behemoth keeps defying gravity. From books to cloud services, Amazon’s empire knows no bounds.
- Meta Platforms (META): The social media giant, formerly Facebook, is reinventing itself. Despite scrutiny, it’s still a force to be reckoned with.
- Microsoft (MSFT): Riding a strong uptrend, Microsoft’s software empire remains unshaken. Cloud computing and productivity tools drive its success.
So, farewell, Magnificent Seven. Say hello to the Fabulous Four — the ones charting a different course in this high-stakes trading saga.
