Big drops in two of the Magnificent Seven stocks haven't dented the group's influence on the S&P 500. In fact, the trendy stocks dominate now more than ever.
The seven megacap stocks — Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA), Alphabet (GOOG), Amazon.com (AMZN), Meta (META) and Tesla (TSLA) — account for 29.7% of the S&P 500 as of April 17, says Datatrek Research. That's up from the group's 27.9% weight in the S&P 500 in 2023.
Seeing the group's hold over the world's most popular index grow this year might surprise you. Shares of Tesla are down 37.4%.
"Despite all the buzz around the death of the 'Magnificent 7,' U.S. big tech is actually a more dominant force in American stock markets than at the end of 2023," said Nicholas Colas of Datatrek in a report.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Alphabet is a collection of different companies, including the popular search engine Google. The company leverages its search, web browsing, mobile operating systems, and cloud computing to make money through the sale of advertising and various service fees. Advertising generates the majority of revenue, but Google Cloud revenues are growing rapidly. The company has three reportable segments: Google Services, Google Cloud, and Other Bets. Google Services is the most profitable while Google Cloud and Other Bets often post operating losses.
