Expensive for a reason...

Since December 2019, the Magnificent 7 stocks collectively delivered a 28% annualized return. Of this, approximately 27% is attributable to earnings growth (21% sales growth and 6% margin expansion) with only 1% due to multiple expansion. In contrast, earnings drove only 13% of the S&P 500’s 17% annualized return since 2019. Looking forward, Goldman expect revenue growth will be the key driver of returns for the Magnificent 7 stocks. Bottom-up consensus expects the seven companies will collectively grow sales at a 12% CAGR through 2026 compared with an 3% CAGR for the remaining 493 companies in the S&P 500 index.

Happy 20th birthday, Facebook

To this day, Facebook has never seen a year-over-year drop in active users and once it happens, we won't know, because the company announced that it won't be reporting Facebook user numbers going forward. Instead, the company will focus on metrics that are more relevant to its advertising business, such as changes in ad impressions and the average price per ad at the regional level. source : statista
