Mark Newton, head of technical strategy at Fundstrat, indicates that the recent pullback in stocks like Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon, which have reached two-month lows, could be a signal for investors to seek relative strength rather than continue to chase the weakness.
He notes that a stabilization in these stocks would positively impact the broader market, especially with the potential for falling crude oil prices, yields, and the U.S. dollar. The Magnificent 7, which collectively hold a valuation of approximately $22.62 trillion, is led by Nvidia at $5.13 trillion.
Concerns regarding the sustainability of AI growth and competition from Chinese firms have pressured their stock prices. However, Paul Meeks, head of tech research at Freedom Capital Markets, believes that the Magnificent 7 will remain a strong investment, particularly as they are central to AI infrastructure spending.
He suggests that funds may shift from other investments to capitalize on opportunities within this group. Furthermore, the Magnificent 7 is expected to be part of a new cohort dubbed the Fab 10, which includes companies like SpaceX and OpenAI, as demand for AI continues to surge, with retail investors increasingly interested in SpaceX as part of their portfolios
