Are the Magnificent 7 losing momentum to AI stocks?

August 28, 2025

A recent research report by Coatue suggests the reign of the Magnificent 7 (shown in the graph below) may be coming to an end and is about to be overtaken by an AI supercycle.

The first sign of this is the lower returns from these businesses in the last five years.

If indeed the Magnificent 7’s reign atop the investment universe is coming to an end, then what will replace them?

Coatue believes AI companies will occupy the next winner’s podium. These will include AI power companies, AI software, and AI semis.

“The super-cycle thesis would bring significant gains to the stock market through a different set of companies than what we have enjoyed over the last 5-10 years. That type of competition for investment dollars ultimately makes companies better, along with increasing the opportunity for returns for investors,” according to Anthony Pompliano of Professional Capital Management.

“Stocks may have experienced a historic rebound in Q2. Just don’t mistake that rebound for the end of the momentum. These higher prices are likely to create even higher highs. And the pessimists will still be crying while it all happens.”
