As Nvidia Leads Magnificent 7 Volatility, Analyst Says These Mega-Caps Are Poised To Outperform Small-Caps — But There's A Catch
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Morgan Stanley analysts, led by Erik Woodring, have analyzed the recent sell-off's impact on mega-cap stocks, particularly the 'Magnificent Seven' (Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, and Tesla). Despite a 9% average decline month-to-date, these stocks are seen as attractive due to their future growth prospects. The analysis suggests that while there is downside risk in a recession scenario, the Magnificent Seven may outperform small-caps if the economy avoids a hard landing. ETFs like Invesco QQQ Trust, Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF, and iShares Russell 2000 ETF also saw gains.
