FlowBank's hand-curated fresh financial news [header_noDither] The Magnificent 7 Are Now As Big As Entire Countries! U.S. technology companies, known as the "Magnificent 7" (including big names like Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft) combined value is now so large it could compare to the stock markets of entire countries. This situation has some experts worried about the risk of having so much of the market tied up in just a few companies. Despite these concerns, these tech giants have seen incredible growth, especially with the excitement around artificial intelligence, leading to significant profits. However, there's a growing belief that the market might start to embrace a wider range of companies, thanks to a strong U.S. economy and businesses doing well overall. This change could open up new opportunities for investors beyond just these seven tech behemoths.
