| Keeping in mind that Alphabet is the only one of the Mag 7 stocks that has managed to outperform the S&P 500 in 2026. |

| Keeping in mind that Jan 1 2026 to Jul 22 2026 is an arbitrary and meaningless time period to analyze. |

| ▲ | kibwen a day ago | parent [-] | | Are you asserting that there exists a time period to analyze that is not arbitrary and meaningless? If so, which? The reason why 2026 specifically is interesting is because it wasn't until late December of last year that AI models started to demonstrate particularly interesting capabilities, while we finally got IPO announcements for OpenAI and Anthropic. Assuming that the market works at all, it should be pricing in these events. | | |

| No they haven't. SPY YTD: 9.40%, GOOG YTD: 3.33% They have (massively) outperformed it in 2025 though. |

| ▲ | bdcravens a day ago | parent | next [-] | | I'm seeing 8.43% for GOOG. | |

| ▲ | kibwen a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Not sure where you got 3.33%, looks to me like GOOGL is +9.44% YTD while GOOG is +9.1%. | | |
| ▲ | malfist a day ago | parent [-] | | Might be related to the massive drop this morning. According to yahoo finance, YTD GOOG is +1.81% and GOOGL +2.33% | | |
| ▲ | kibwen a day ago | parent [-] | | Amusing how volatile these stocks are. In any case, my intent was not to boost Alphabet but to denounce the overheated state of the tech sector in general, so having the entirety of the Mag 7 fall below the baseline is no skin off my nose. |
