Amazon and Apple Lag Behind Magnificent Seven Peers in 2025
Amazon and Apple are the only two stocks in the "Magnificent Seven" group trading lower in 2025, with declines of 1.7% and 0.4% respectively. This contrasts sharply with the group's collective 18.7% surge. Amazon's growth has plateaued at 9-12% annually for three years, though a recent 13% sales increase offers hope. Apple's challenges remain unaddressed in the report.
Market expectations continue to weigh on both tech giants. Amazon's Prime Day event failed to ignite its stock, while Apple's innovation pipeline appears stagnant. Their underperformance raises questions about whether these former leaders can reclaim their momentum in an increasingly competitive landscape.
