Large-cap tech on the rise in 2025: Portfolio Manager

Stocks are on the rise, set to break the longest losing streak since April 2024. Keith Gangl, Gradient Investments portfolio manager, joins Brad Smith on Wealth to weigh in on the market and share his outlook for tech in 2025. Gangl is particularly bullish on large-cap tech and sees it accelerating throughout the year. "The fundamentals are still solid, the growth rates are there, valuations are very reasonable,” he explains. He points out that these companies are growing at 15 to 20%, well above the broader market's growth rate of 10%, and have valuations that are above market multiples. Gangl offers Amazon specifically as one of his top picks. "We like the fact that it's half consumer business ... but we also like the AWS business, which is their big tech; that's a play on AI as well."

Worried About "Magnificent Seven" Volatility in 2025? The Vanguard Mega Cap Value ETF Might Be the Answer.

The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ: MAGS) rose around 65% in 2024, nearly three times the gain of the S&P 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC). If you have a value bias or are simply worried about the fact that the market has been driven higher by such a small group of companies, the Vanguard Mega Cap Value ETF (NYSEMKT: MGV) could be your solution in 2025. When you look at the roughly 23% gain of the S&P 500 index in 2024, it seems like an exceptional year for the market as a whole.

The Stock Market Just Did Something It Hasn't Done Since the Dot-Com Bubble in 1998. Here's What Could Happen in 2025.

The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) delivered a total return (including dividends) of 25% in 2024, which followed a gain of 26% in 2023. The stock market is more rational this time around, but emerging themes like artificial intelligence (AI) are driving substantial gains in some pockets of the tech sector once again. Based on a mixture of historical data and a series of coming events, here's what might be in store for the S&P 500 this year.

S&P 500 Dipped in December: 1 Growth Stock to Buy, and 1 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock to Sell

The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) performed very well in 2024, with a 25% gain, but it ended the year on a sour note, with a 3.3% drop in December. Since there is some uncertainty on the horizon with a new U.S. government preparing to take office, it's possible the S&P 500 drop will persist in the short term. With that in mind, here's why Sea Limited (NYSE: SE) might be a great stock to buy whereas Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW) could be one to leave behind.

Here's the Smartest Way to Invest in the S&P 500 in January

Last year was a fantastic one for stocks and stock market investors. As a result, AI stocks Nvidia and Palantir Technologies posted the biggest gains in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) and the S&P 500, respectively, in 2024. Today, at the start of another new year, there's reason to be optimistic about what's next for the stock market as the positive momentum continues.
