"This year, one of the better performers among the Magnificent 7 has been Meta Platforms Inc. ( NASDAQ: META). Its shares have outperformed the broader market and are currently up 46.6% in the past six months, and they hit an all-time high of $796.25 in August. For comparison, other Magnificent 7 members have fared worse. Look no further than Amazon.com Inc. ( NASDAQ: AMZN) and Apple Inc. ( NASDAQ: AAPL), which are down 0.7% and up 2.5%, respectively, since the beginning of the year."
"Furthermore, strong first-quarter and second-quarter earnings reports lend credence to the claim that Meta will continue to outshine its competitors over the next year. That belief has been bolstered by its recent performance. Since hitting its year-to-date low on April 21, the stock has rallied 52.9%. The near-term future of the economy is uncertain-just like the markets themselves-and Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg is a controversial figure."
Meta Platforms' shares have risen sharply, up 46.6% over the past six months and reaching an all-time high of $796.25 in August. Other large tech peers have lagged, with Amazon down 0.7% and Apple up 2.5% year-to-date. Strong first- and second-quarter earnings support expectations that Meta could outpace competitors, and the stock has rallied 52.9% since its April 21 low. The near-term economic outlook remains uncertain, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg's pivot to the metaverse and rebranding drew controversy. Reality Labs generated $370 million in Q2 2025 revenue but posted a $4.53 billion operating loss, limiting near-term growth reliance and requiring investors to plan for varied outcomes.
