Magnificent Seven Tech Giants To Propel S&P 500 Buyback: Goldman Sachs Says Repurchases Poised For $1 Trillion By 2025
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
Goldman Sachs predicts S&P 500 companies will increase their share buybacks to $925 billion in 2024, a 13% YoY increase, and exceed $1 trillion in 2025. This surge is driven by the 'Magnificent Seven' tech giants: Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla, which contributed to 26% of S&P 500 buybacks in 2023. Despite a 14% decline in buybacks in 2023 due to various economic factors, expectations of strong earnings from these tech firms are anticipated to boost share repurchases.
