In the 1920s and early 1970s, the “Nifty 50” comprised 50 top NYSE stocks like Walmart and Coca-Cola, with a high P/E ratio. Despite suffering during the 1973-1975 recession, these stocks yielded above-average returns until 1998. Today, the “Magnificent 7” stocks, including Apple and Microsoft, are likened to the Nifty 50 for their rapid growth and high valuations.

The “Mag 7” stocks have an average forward P/E ratio of ~28x compared to the S&P 500’s ~23.5x. While these stocks have seen long uptrends, they currently trade at a decade-low premium to the S&P 500. Many of these stocks are transitioning into “Growth at a Reasonable Price” (GARP) plays, offering both growth and reasonable valuations.
