Keeping in mind that Alphabet is the only one of the Mag 7 stocks that has managed to outperform the S&P 500 in 2026.
- spwa4 3mo agoNo they haven't. SPY YTD: 9.40%, GOOG YTD: 3.33% They have (massively) outperformed it in 2025 though.

- bdcravens 3mo agoI'm seeing 8.43% for GOOG.
- kibwen 3mo agoNot sure where you got 3.33%, looks to me like GOOGL is +9.44% YTD while GOOG is +9.1%.
- malfist 3mo agoMight be related to the massive drop this morning. According to yahoo finance, YTD GOOG is +1.81% and GOOGL +2.33%
- kibwen 3mo agoAmusing how volatile these stocks are. In any case, my intent was not to boost Alphabet but to denounce the overheated state of the tech sector in general, so having the entirety of the Mag 7 fall below the baseline is no skin off my nose.
- lotsofpulp 3mo agoKeeping in mind that Jan 1 2026 to Jul 22 2026 is an arbitrary and meaningless time period to analyze.
- kibwen 3mo agoAre you asserting that there exists a time period to analyze that is not arbitrary and meaningless? If so, which? The reason why 2026 specifically is interesting is because it wasn't until late December of last year that AI models started to demonstrate particularly interesting capabilities, while we finally got IPO announcements for OpenAI and Anthropic. Assuming that the market works at all, it should be pricing in these events.
- 8organicbits 3mo ago> wasn't until late December of last year that AI models started to demonstrate particularly interesting capabilities What are you referring to here?
- Zigurd 3mo agoIf what they're referring to is coding agents, I can say they were pretty crappy as of November last year, and they've come a long way. Much more useful and usable now.
