Market Trends Show Signs of Exhaustion
As of the first half of 2026, major tech stocks known as the “Magnificent Seven” have largely seen declines, with all except Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) entering correction territory. Only Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has regained some ground, indicating a potential end to the AI-driven stock rally that has benefitted investors in recent years.
Investors are increasingly being advised to shift focus towards defensive and high-quality stocks as growth stocks show signs of underperformance. One such option is the Invesco S&P 500 Quality ETF (NYSEMKT: SPHQ), which currently allocates 42% to tech while also diversifying across industrials, financials, and consumer staples, to mitigate risks during market downturns.
