<p>The “Magnificent Seven” — a moniker for a group of high-performing tech stocks including Nvidia and Microsoft — has shed $2.6 trillion from their combined market cap in 20 days in the lead-up to a high-profile earnings week.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a July 31 post on X, economics outlet The Kobeissi Letter <a href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1818386268545245234" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">commented</a> that “The Magnificent Seven has lost triple the value of Brazil’s entire stock market in 20 days.”</p>
<p>The group includes Google parent Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla, which have outpaced the rest of the S&amp;P 500 in growth since the market low in 2022. </p>
