Big Tech Sell-Off: Why the “Mag 7” Could Be a Smart Buy Now
By Halo Technologies Research Team
After a rough start to 2025, some of the world’s most dominant tech giants—known collectively as the “Mag 7”—are trading at their most attractive valuations in years. Stocks like Tesla (-40%) and Nvidia (-25%) have led the sell-off, dragging the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS) down about 17% year-to-date. But for long-term investors, this correction could present a rare buying opportunity.
The Mag 7—Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia, and Tesla—are the cornerstone of high-growth sectors like artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and digital services. Despite the volatility, their earnings power remains unmatched. The group posted a combined 31.7% earnings growth in Q4 2024 and is expected to grow another 17.1% in 2025—more than double the broader S&P 500. That kind of strength is hard to ignore.
With valuations now pulled back, the fundamentals look compelling. The weighted forward P/E ratio for the group sits at 22.6x—down from peak levels—with Alphabet trading at just 16x forward earnings and Meta at 20x. This reset brings some of the most innovative companies in the world back into value territory. Alphabet’s YouTube alone pulled in $50 billion in revenue over the past year, while Microsoft’s Azure AI services grew 157% year-over-year. Even Meta’s AI-driven social platforms continue to drive strong ad revenues, despite a tough macro environment.
AI, which underpins much of the Mag 7’s growth engine, is not going away. It’s forecast to become a $1.3 trillion industry by 2032. Nvidia continues to lead the hardware charge, while Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta are rapidly scaling AI services and platforms. These tech titans are spending big—over $325 billion in 2025 collectively—but their dominance in key markets makes the investment worthwhile for long-term shareholders.
Yes, there are risks. Tesla and Apple face company-specific headwinds, from EV demand softening to slower revenue growth. And tariff wars could weigh on supply chains and digital ad budgets. But these companies also have the scale, cash flow, and resilience to weather short-term setbacks. The group’s average profit margin hit 25.8% in Q4 2024—nearly double that of the broader S&P 500.
At Halo Technologies, we believe this pullback is a moment for strategic accumulation. Investors can either buy individual stocks directly through our platform or gain diversified exposure via our high-performing thematic portfolios—or “Vues”—including Tech Stars, Artificial Intelligence, and Founder Led Companies.
In short: The Mag 7 may be bruised, but not broken. For investors with a 3–5-year horizon, today’s prices offer a compelling entry point into the tech powerhouses reshaping the future.
