Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Platforms A Lucrative Bet As 'Investors Favor Less Leveraged Tech Stocks,' Says Expert Amid Mag7's 2025 Underperformance

Quick Summary:

What Happened: The high interest rate environment in 2025 has kept the technology mega caps under pressure, according to John Murillo, the chief dealing officer at B2BROKER.“Many tech companies, especially those with high leverage, are particularly susceptible to changes in interest rates,” said Murillo, adding that the Federal Reserve's current stance has been impacting these companies' profitability and valuations.

Only Meta Platforms Inc.has outperformed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices in 2025 because it is “less leveraged,” as compared to the other ‘Magnificent 7’ stocks, explains an analyst.

He also highlights that the current U.S.administration's tariff policies, particularly targeting China, have created uncertainties in global trade, risking increasing costs for tech companies and affecting their earnings.
