What Are The Magnificent Seven Stocks?
Just as Wall Street moved on from the Nifty 50 in the 1970s as the term's popularity and usefulness waned, the so-called FANG or FAANG stocks have lost their bite. Replacing them in the lexicon du jour is the Magnificent Seven Stocks: Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla.
From GOOGL, AAPL and AMZN to META, MSFT, NVDA and TSLA, the Magnificent Seven stocks account for around half of the weighting of the Nasdaq.
Unlike the price-weighted Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Nasdaq composite and S&P 500 indexes are market-capitalization weighted.
As a result, the combined market caps of the Magnificent Seven stocks have a disproportional influence on the Nasdaq composite and Nasdaq 100.
To help address this issue, the Nasdaq rebalanced the index on July 24. That reduced the individual weighting of the Magnificent Seven stocks. But the rebalancing simply changed the total weighting of these seven megacaps from over 50% to nearly 50%.
In short, the Nasdaq 100 remains heavily concentrated on these megacap growth stocks.
