Frequently Asked Questions
What are FANG stocks?
FANG is an acronym for four major tech stocks: Facebook (now Meta), Amazon, Netflix, and Google (now Alphabet). The term was coined by CNBC host Jim Cramer in 2013. It was later expanded to FAANG to include Apple, and has evolved further into the broader "Magnificent 7" grouping that adds Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Tesla.
What is the difference between FANG, FAANG, and the Magnificent 7?
FANG includes Meta, Amazon, Netflix, and Google. FAANG adds Apple. The Magnificent 7 is the current term for the seven largest tech stocks: Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, NVIDIA, and Tesla. FAANG is becoming outdated as NVIDIA has surpassed most FAANG stocks in market importance due to AI.
What are the historical returns of FAANG stocks?
The FAANG+ stocks tracked on this page have a combined market cap of $15.80T and delivered an average return of -5.7% in 2026. Over 5 years, these stocks have significantly outperformed the S&P 500, though individual performance varies widely.
Is Netflix still a FANG stock?
Netflix remains part of the original FANG/FAANG acronym, but it has been eclipsed by NVIDIA in market importance and size. Netflix is a streaming company competing with Disney+, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV+, while the rest of FAANG are diversified tech platforms. Many investors now focus on the Magnificent 7 instead.
Should I invest in all FAANG stocks?
Investing in all FAANG stocks provides diversified mega-cap tech exposure across search, social media, e-commerce, cloud computing, and streaming. However, you can get similar exposure through ETFs like QQQ (Nasdaq 100) or buying an S&P 500 fund, which already weights these stocks heavily.
About FAANG Stocks
FAANG is an acronym for five of the most popular tech stocks: Facebook (now Meta), Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google (now Alphabet). These companies have been market leaders and significant drivers of stock market returns over the past decade.
With the rise of AI, NVIDIA has become equally important, leading some to expand the acronym to "FAANG+" or "Magnificent 7" (adding Microsoft and Tesla). This page tracks the original FAANG stocks plus NVIDIA.
