AND Nasdaq-100 consists of 100 of the largest non -financial companies listed on Nasdaq stock market. Brought a 343% refund in the last decade, doubled the gain of diverse S & P 500 Thanks to the high concentration of the world’s largest technological stocks.
However, the NASDAQ-100 can be more unstable at the time of uncertainty, and is currently in the territory of correction after a drop of 13% of the recent top. Some of the largest ingredients in the index, namely “”Magnificent seven“The leading fall. This group of seven companies earned a nickname because of their tendency to surpass the wider market (regardless of the occasional rough patches) and their incredible size. Here, along with their recent market limits:
Apple: $ 3.1 trillion.
Microsoft: $ 2.8 trillion.
Nvidia: $ 2.8 trillion.
Amazon : $ 2,1 trillion.
Alphabet(Nasdaq: Googl)(Nasdaq: Goog): $ 2.
Meta platform(Nasdaq: Meta): $ 1.5 trillion.
Tesla: $ 770 billion.
I want to focus on two of these stocks because of their attractive estimates compared to the rest of the group and their potential to use the topics such as artificial intelligence (AI). Meta platform shares and alphabets have been reduced by 19%and 21%, respectively, from their record high heights, and here’s why investors could regret not buying them on the fall.
Meta platforms is a home company Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp social networks, which serve over 3.3 billion people every day. The company generates revenue by selling advertising places to companies, so the more ads can show every day, the more money it makes.
Since almost half of the world’s population is already using the target of apps, attracting new applications becomes more difficult, so the company instead focuses on engagement. It uses AI in their recommendations engines to find out what types of content they like to see, so they can show them more to keep them on the net longer.
At the end of 2024, the CEO Mark Zuckerberg said this strategy increased 8% from year to year in the amount of time that users spent on Facebook and increased by 6% for Instagram.
The introduction of new products is also part of the management tools. Last year, the company launched Ai Chatbot called Meta AI that is available through all its existing applications.
Users can ask questions about various topics or invite them to their group chats to get rid of discussions and recommend fun activities. Meta AI had over 700 million active users a month at the end of last year, making it one of the most popular chatbot in the world.
It is launched by the Lama family of large linguistic models (LLMS). They have been open and attracted over 600 million downloads, allowing a company to relieve the huge community of developers to repair mistakes and improve the models faster. Thanks to this approach, these models have become some of the most powerful industry.
Zuckerberg believes that the upcoming Llam 4 version will actually surpass some of the best closed source models from developers like Openi. If this is true, the target AI could become one of the “smartest” chatbot in the industry, which could attract new users and create more opportunities for revenue.
Last year, the target generated a record $ 164.5 billion in revenue, which is 22% compared to 2023. Its earnings per share (EPS) increased by 60% to $ 23.86. It puts its shares in the ratio of price and earnings (P/e) of 24.7, making it a second larger magnificent seven shares; Only the alphabet is cheaper.
Based on the strong financial growth of the company and its leadership potential in the AI, the recent 19% of the insulting in the price of the shares are a great long -term opportunity to buy for investors.

Alphabet is a home company Google, YouTube and the Waymo Sets -General Programmer. Google generates more than half of the total revenue of conglomerate, which led her search engine, which sells advertising slots to companies.
AI Chatboti have threatened to dominate Google search in the last few years, as the Internet users provide a suitable new way to access information. Alphabet invests in AI to ensure that Google holds its 90% market share in search. Last year, he started an AI examination, which appear at the top of traditional Google Search results when users enroll in a query.
They combine the text, images and connections up to the third parties website to provide a holistic, a -generated response, which can save users from sifting through websites to find the necessary information.
Alphabet says that the examination is sharing as much as the traditional search format, so they should not harm Google’s ability to generate income. In fact, the company says users are more likely to ask for examinations, because they can improve their questions and get more intricate information than before.
The review is powered by Alphabet’s Gemini Family of LLMS, which the company developed internally to rude impressive start-up models like Openi and Anthropic. Not only do twins play a crucial role in improving Google searching, it also allows the same name of the Independent Chatbot and AI helper that is built into the Google Workpace application such as Gmail, Docs and Sheets.
And finally, Google Cloud deserves a special memorial because it is the fastest growing segment of the entire Alphabet business. It has become a destination for companies and developers seeking a top -notch computer center and LLMS (including twins), which they use to create their own software.
In the last quarter of 2024, the Google Cloud customers used eight times more than a computer capacity for AI training and working load AI conclusions than they were 18 months earlier. The AI platform AI programmer of Google Cloud, Vertex AI, has experienced a five times increase in customers last year.
Simply put, different AI efforts of the alphabet create a significant amount of momentum, which does not coincide with a recent drop in shares of 21%. Usually, when the basics of companies improve, but supplies are moving lower, which for investors says the possibility of buying.
The company increased its EPS by 38% during 2024. To a record $ 8.04, and as shown on the chart that I had previously shared and sets its shares in the ratio of P/E of only 20.2. Not only is the cheapest magnificent seven shares so far, but 32% is cheaper than the total nasaq-100 index, which is traded at a 29.8 p/e.
