Concentration of the Magnificent Seven

The performance of the U.S. equity market has seen significant concentration in a group of stocks known as the Magnificent Seven, which include major companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon. Together, they represent approximately 28% of the S&P 500's value, which is unprecedented in market history. These companies have a combined market value exceeding $10 trillion and are expected to achieve substantial revenue growth, but achieving this growth rate is seen as a daunting challenge. The market speculation surrounding their continued dominance raises concerns about potential competition and market corrections, highlighting the risks associated with such concentration.
