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.
