Could Another Magnificent 7 Stock Beat Nvidia In 2025? Poll Says Not Likely, 27% Pick This Potential Winner

Over half of the Magnificent 7 stocks have outperformed the S&P 500 in 2024 and all seven have produced higher five-year returns. Benzinga readers pick which Magnificent 7 stock could have the best 2025 and if anyone can catch Nvidia Corporation NVDA, which continues to beat analyst estimates.

What Happened: Nvidia stock is up 199% year-to-date in 2024 and could have more upside ahead according to analyst price targets after the company's third-quarter beat and raised guidance.

Benzinga recently asked readers if any of the Magnificent 7 stocks could post stronger stock growth than Nvidia in the next year.

"In 2025, which Magnificent 7 stock could outpace Nvidia in growth?" Benzinga asked.

The results were:

• None – Nvidia will dominate: 48%
• Tesla Inc TSLA: 27%
• Amazon.com Inc AMZN: 8%
• Meta Platforms META: 7%
• Alphabet Inc GOOGGOOGL: 6%
• Microsoft Corporation MSFT: 3%
• Apple Inc AAPL: 2%

The poll found the near-majority predicting Nvidia will have the strongest growth in 2025 and dominate the Magnificent 7 stocks once again.

Coming in second place, and the stock that could have the best chance to pass Nvidia according to readers, was Tesla at 27%. This might not be a huge surprise given Tesla's five-year return is the next closest to Nvidia's when looking at the Magnificent 7 stocks.

Here are the current year-to-date and five-year returns of the Magnificent 7 stocks:

• NVDA: YTD +199.1%, 5-Year +2,634.2%
• TSLA: YTD +38.2%, 5-Year +1,446.2%
• AMZN: YTD +31.3%, 5-Year +125.5%
• META: YTD +61.3%, 5-Year +181.0%
• GOOG: YTD +19.7%, 5-Year +158.0%
• MSFT: YTD +11.4%, 5-Year +176.2%
• AAPL: YTD +23.3%, 5-Year +249.7%

Perhaps most surprising in the poll was Apple finishing last despite having the third-best stock performance over the last five years.

Compare the returns above to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY, which tracks the S&P 500, which is up 25.3% year-to-date and up 90.4% over the last five years.

Meanwhile, the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF MAGS, which invests in the Magnificent Seven stocks, is up 55.7% year-to-date. The ETF has not been around for five years to track that performance.

Why It's Important: A recent Benzinga poll asked readers to predict if Nvidia would beat, miss or meet earnings estimates in the third quarter.

The results were:

• Meets expectations: 45%
• Blowout Beat: 42%
• Misses expectations: 13%

The majority of Benzinga readers expected the company to meet or beat the estimates from analysts. While more readers expected the company to meet estimates, 42% believed the company would beat estimates Wednesday.

Benzinga readers also predicted what an earnings beat could mean for Nvidia stock going forward.

“If Nvidia shatters expectations, how high could its stock go by the end of 2024?” Benzinga asked.

The results were:

• $150 to $180: 55%
• $180 to $200: 26%
• Above $200: 18%

Nvidia shares traded down in after-hours Wednesday before reversing to the green in early Thursday trading. The stock is down 0.5% to $145.20 Thursday at the time of writing.
