Meta Platforms Outperforms Magnificent Seven Stocks
As of July 1, 2025, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) has gained 23% year-to-date, outperforming peers like Nvidia and Microsoft, which have also performed well but not as effectively. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have increased by approximately 5% each through the first half of the year.
Meta is investing heavily in artificial intelligence, recently announcing a $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI and aggressively hiring talent from OpenAI, with reports suggesting signing bonuses of up to $100 million. This strategy is part of the newly established Meta Superintelligence Labs, aiming to improve AI algorithms for personalized recommendations across its platforms.
