This week, Zacks Chief Equity Strategist and Economist John Blank, PhD discusses:

• A 2025 update on the performance of the Magnificent 7 stocks: Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL), Meta (META), NVIDIA (NVDA), and Tesla (TSLA).

• John presents a range of charts to illustrate performance metrics for these companies, which have dominated the S&P 500 for years. Using metrics ranging from Return on Equity to Revenue F12M, Net Margin, EPS Consensus and EPS surprise, he shows how these tickers have fared recently and how they are trending. John also includes pie charts to depict illuminating data like Critical Product Segments and Geographic Segment Revenue Percentage for these global companies.

• Which is the “all-star” of this group? John actually names two: As a company, NVIDIA is the undisputed champ for this year. But he also names another all-star that he describes as “a stock, not a company.” Find out who he is referring to, and learn more about the latest performance and John’s outlook for the Magnificent 7 in this week’s timely and informative video!
