The “MAGA Seven” are a group of stocks, dubbed by MarketWatch, that have notched significant gains and attention since the election of President Donald Trump. However, the MAGA Seven took a big hit in Monday's market rout. Here's a look at how they performed. 

Crypto-related companies experienced significant gains following Trump's election win due to his "crypto-friendly" stance and expected changes to cryptocurrency-trading rules under the new administration.

However, Bitcoin BTC/USD has remained range-bound following the election, with many of the Trump catalysts having been priced-in.

  • HOOD: Robinhood Markets, Inc. HOOD shares fell nearly 20% on Monday with stocks in the  financial sector hit particularly hard as recession fears rattled the market. Robinhood's stock has given back all of its year-to-date gains after falling 36% over the past month. 
  • COIN: Shares of Coinbase Global, Inc. COIN cratered 17.6% Monday, as a drop in the price of bitcoin rocked crypto-related stocks. Trump's crypto summit last Friday lacked any major new announcements and turned into a "sell the news" event, triggering sell-offs in cryptocurrencies and related stocks. Coinbase shares, like Robinhood, have erased all year-to-date gains after falling 29% in the past month. 
  • MSTR: Another crypto play, Strategy, Inc. MSTR, sank 16.7% in Monday's broad sell-off, fueled by the dip in bitcoin and an at-the-market stock offering. Strategy shares have fallen 24% over the last 30 days as MAGA Seven stocks pull back.   
  • APP: Applovin Corp. APP stock fell 12% Monday, bringing its monthly losses to nearly 35%. The app-monitization company's stock, which reached an all-time high of $525.15 in mid-February, now trades below $250 per share. 
  • TSLA: Tesla, Inc. TSLA shares were under pressure from several fronts Monday, including CEO Elon Musk's political involvement, protests against the company and weak China sales. Tesla's stock fell 15.4% in the session to mark its worst one-day performance in five years. 

MarketWatch also named less-prominest Ubiquiti Inc. UI and Williams-Sonoma, Inc. WSM as members of the MAGA Seven due to their outsized gains following the election results. The stocks were down 6.18% and 1.69%, respectively, on Monday.
