They are popularly known as “the magnificent 7” because their capitalizations have increased in recent years that already equal or exceed the GDP of a few countries, although despite the fact that the name takes into account companies from the last decades, They have existed since at least the 18th century.. Although its power is undoubted, there is no corporation that is eternal or immune to “earthquakes” like the advent of DeepSeek or a year as crazy as 2025, spiced by the rise of Donald Trump and his questionable decisions. Or yes.
The Magnificent Seven Goes Cruising Speed. Because on December 23, 2025, the shares of the powerful septet recorded an average annual return of 27.5%, well above of the S&P 500 index. Of course, the future of each of them had a different fate last year with one clear winner, another strong follower and the rest, who have held up quite well.
2025 was the year of Alphabet. Google began the year with several open fronts that promised to ruin it by 2025, but the Menlo Park company not only emerged victorious but It is the strongest big tech of the moment. Well, in 2025 Google’s matrix has skyrocketed, standing out from the rest. The keys? In addition to winning several trials, Gemini and its integration and the optimism around chips.
In 2015 Google began to develop its TPU, but in recent months it has announced that it would begin to sell it in large quantities. as Goal or Antropic. Google you is competing with NVIDIA where it hurts the most. In fact, with a rise of 65.8% according to TradingView dataAlphabet is today the most profitable company in the world.
NVIDIA has a bitter silver. The second is NVIDIA, the company that has benefited the most from the AI and data craze. Its profitability is 40.9%, outstanding compared to the rest but notably more modest compared to the increases of 171% and 239% in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Doubling its year-on-year income is, objectively and in isolation, very good news. Of course, competition from Alphabet on the one hand and from AMD and Broadcom threaten its days of wine and roses.

After Alphabet and NVIDIA, the list softens, passing through Tesla and its 20.2%, Microsoft and its 15.5% and Meta and its 13.6%. It is worth stopping at the last two because this position constitutes a real warning to sailors.
Apple’s (more or less) skinny cows. With 8.8% profitability, Cupertino is not going through its best moment: the company is behind the competition in AI and its vitaminized Siri it seems to never arrive. In 2025 several managers they have abandoned ship. Furthermore, this 2026 has all the ballots to be the one of the goodbye from your CEO.
Amazon is no longer so all-powerful. Closing the list is Jeff Bezos’ company, which has registered “only” a 5.8% profitability that falls within a context of slowing growth in its cloud computing business throughout the year. His fall in October caused a widespread internet blackout which doesn’t help either.
