The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF offers efficient, low-cost exposure to Mag7 companies, with strong liquidity and low spreads. MAGS uses derivative instruments like swaps to replicate target companies' performance. With a 1-year return of 61.65%, MAGS has outperformed the S&P 500 significantly, showcasing its ability to capitalize on the growth of the Magnificent Seven stocks.
MAGS remains a compelling ETF Buy for investors seeking high growth through the Magnificent 7 stocks, thanks to their robust long-term prospects. Much of their outperformance is attributed to the ongoing cloud super cycle, robust e-commerce demand, and market leading smartphone/ EV sales. This is on top of the improved margin of safety from the recent correction from December 2024 peaks, a common trend that we have observed in prior earning seasons.
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). As the exchange-traded fund's name suggests, it owns just seven stocks Nvidia, Meta Platforms, Alphabet, Amazon.com, Microsoft, Apple, and Tesla, all of which are large growth companies.
The ETF offers exposure to the Magnificent Seven, which concentrates returns and elevates risk, as evidenced by historical periods of high concentration in the S&P 500 followed by declines. Projections indicate that EPS for the Magnificent Seven are expected to slow in 2025, while the rest of the S&P 500 is expected to show growth. The ETF trades at 37x P/E, close to all-time highs. I believe a fair price would be around 31x P/E, suggesting the asset is currently overpriced.
Magnificent Seven stocks have been on a spectacular ride this year and are poised to see more gains in 2025.
