These are the stocks that have reacted the most to Donald Trump's presidential election victory.
The “Magnificent Seven” stocks have captured the attention of traders and dominated the market in recent years, as the price of their shares has soared and their market capitalizations have hit $1 trillion and more.
As Donald Trump returns to the White House, a new roster of stocks has become popular with traders and racked up significant gains since the presidential election.
Think of them as the “MAGA Seven.” These stocks, trading on U.S. exchanges, had market caps of $15 billion or higher on Nov. 5. Some of these companies are related — either directly or indirectly — to Trump or his administration’s policies; others are riding a bull-market wave. Their share prices have seen the biggest percentage increases since Trump won the election.
App-monetization company AppLovin Corp. (APP) has seen its stock rise by 107.3% since Trump won the presidential election. Its market capitalization has hit $114.9 billion, lifted by upbeat earnings revisions and the success of the company's AI-powered AXON advertising-recommendation engine.
AppLovin has also seen better-than-expected early data from a recent e-commerce pilot, according to Chief Executive Adam Foroughi. Advertisers involved in the pilot are seeing substantial returns, Foroughi said during a conference call to discuss the company's recent third-quarter results. Analyst firm Benchmark recently initiated coverage of AppLovin with a buy rating and $375 price target.
"Key catalysts include continued advancements in its AXON AI technology, which not only enable the company to expand into new verticals like e-commerce and connected TV but also drive substantial growth within its core advertising business in mobile gaming," wrote Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey. "Together, these areas present significant revenue growth and profitability-expansion opportunities for 2025 and beyond."
On election night, Robinhood Markets Inc. (HOOD) reported its busiest-ever overnight trading session for equities. The online brokerage has also been touted as a "major beneficiary" of changes to crypto trading under the new Trump administration. Set against this backdrop, Robinhood's stock has soared by 92.9% since the presidential election and its market cap has grown from $22.06 billion on Election Day to $42.56 billion.
"The outcome of the U.S. election and President-elect Trump's subsequent nomination of several pro-crypto advocates to cabinet positions catapulted bitcoin (BTCUSD) to record levels," Mizuho Securities analyst Dan Dolev wrote in a recent note. "A more crypto-friendly administration with a less stringent regulatory attitude is likely to drive faster bitcoin adoption, which we expect to drive increased levels of crypto trading activity across a broader array of users."
"While the rising tide should lift all boats near term, we continue to prefer HOOD to COIN for investors looking for medium-/long-term exposure to crypto tailwinds," Dolev added.
Business-software company and cryptocurrency play MicroStrategy Inc. is another MAGA Seven winner amid expectations of a crypto-friendly Trump White House. Last year, when he was on the campaign trail, Trump vowed to build a strategic bitcoin reserve if he won the election. He also vowed to turn America into the "crypto capital of the internet" and the "bitcoin superpower of the world," if elected.
MicroStrategy has held bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset since 2020 and has been aggressively buying the cryptocurrency. Earlier this month, the company announced a capital raise of $2 billion to strengthen its balance sheet and acquire more bitcoin. MicroStrategy's stock has increased by 74.1% since Nov. 5. Its market cap is now $97.73 billion.
Electric-vehicle giant Tesla Inc. is one of the highest-profile "Trump trades" on this list, thanks to CEO Elon Musk's close relationship with the new president. Musk threw his support behind Trump's presidential campaign last year, donating an estimated $200 million or more to the campaign and appearing at several rallies with Trump.
Following the election, Trump appointed Musk co-head of the new "Department of Government Efficiency" initiative. The SpaceX and Tesla chief certainly appears to have Trump's ear. Earlier this month, the then-President-elect seemed to side with Musk in a debate about H1-B immigration visas, going against Trump's base. Set against this backdrop, Tesla's stock has risen by 69.6% and its market cap has grown to a whopping $1.37 trillion. Telsa is the only Magnificent Seven stock that is also a MAGA Seven stock.
Ubiquiti Inc. is another big gainer, continuing a rise that began long before the election. The network-technology company's stock has surged 224.04% over the past 12 months, buoyed by record revenue in the last two fiscal quarters. Against this backdrop, Ubiquiti's stock has increased by 56% and also hit a 52-week high last week.
The company's performance has captured analyst attention. BWS Financial recently raised its Ubiquiti price target to $440 from $385, citing December-quarter results that could be better than expected.
"Ubiquiti has made available the exact timing of product availability that should improve order rates throughout the year," wrote BWS Financial analyst Hamed Khorsand. "Ubiquiti's free cash flow should result in its debt balance dwindling to a level that could lead to Ubiquiti raising its quarterly cash dividend sometime this year."
Like Robinhood, crypto-trading portal Coinbase Global Inc. looks set to receive a boost from the Trump administration's cryptocurrency strategy. In addition to his crypto-friendly campaign pledges, Trump has nominated crypto advocate Paul Atkins to chair the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
"The postelection backdrop has improved for Coinbase with a meaningful reacceleration of trading volumes and sharply higher crypto valuations," Raymond James analyst Patrick O'Shaughnessy wrote in a recent note. "The incoming administration has signaled a more favorable regulatory environment for the crypto space, reawakening crypto animal spirits and apparently removing a long-standing regulatory overhang."
However, the analyst expects to see more competition from non-crypto-native brokerage platforms - putting pressure on Coinbase's commissions - and has a cautious view of Coinbase's long-term earnings power.
Lifted by the bitcoin rally, shares of Coinbase have gained 52.3% since Nov. 5 and its market cap is now $73.97 billion, cementing Coinbase's status among the MAGA Seven.
Though Williams-Sonoma Inc cannot be described as a "Trump Trade," shares of the home-goods retailer have skyrocketed since the presidential election in November. The stock has been hitting all-time highs recently, boosted by market-share gains and better-than-expected profit and revenue. This has been achieved despite what the company has described as a "difficult" environment.
Speaking during the conference call to discuss Williams-Sonoma's recent third-quarter results, CEO Laura Alber said that the company's strategy of focusing on returning to growth, enhancing customer service and driving earnings is working.
Morgan Stanley recently raised its Williams-Sonoma price target to $170, citing the company's steady top line and continued margin strength. This, according to Morgan Stanley analyst Simeon Gutman, shows Williams-Sonoma delivering against the company's plan.
The San Francisco-based company's stock is up 50.4% since Nov. 5, taking its market valuation to $24.97 billion.
