'Magnificent Seven' Dominate S&P 500, But Haunting Echoes Of Dot-Com Bubble Resurface
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Seven tech giants, namely Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, NVIDIA, and Tesla, have seen their stocks surge by 100% or more year-to-date, outperforming the broader S&P 500 index. The rise is attributed to the transformative power of AI and a decline in the Consumer Price Index. However, concerns are rising about the sustainability of these gains, with the Nasdaq 100's current valuation exceeding peak levels seen during the dot-com bubble. The P/E ratio of the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF stands at 35.02, indicating tech stocks are now 15% more costly than their three-year average and 24% pricier than their five-year average.
