⚠️Most of the Magnificent 7 stocks actually LAGGED the S&P 500 in 2025.

Out of the 7 Magnificent stocks, only Google, $GOOGL, and NVIDIA, $NVDA, outperformed the broader US stock market index last year with +66% and +39% gains, respectively. This means Microsoft, Meta, Tesla, Apple, and Amazon finished 2025 below the S&P 500. The Magnificent 7 are not so magnificent anymore. Will this continue? What do you think?
