Meta Platforms (META) has far and away been the biggest winner among the «Magnificent Seven» stocks so far this year.
And on Friday, the company extended what’s been a record winning streak into new territory, notching its 20th straight day of gains.
Said another way, the stock hasn’t had a losing session in the month of February.
Said yet another way, Meta stock hasn’t had a losing session since Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States.
So far this year, Meta stock has only closed lower five times.
Tesla (TSLA) stock, in contrast, has had two separate five-day losing streaks in 2025.
Year to date, Meta stock is now up 25.8%, far outpacing its Magnificent Seven peers.
Amazon (AMZN) is the next best-performing stock among this group of Big Tech stalwarts, having risen 4.2% this year through Friday’s close. Tesla has been the laggard of the group, falling 11.9% in 2025.
With a close at a record high of $736.67 on Friday, Meta stock is now up over 600% from its lows hit back in the fall of 2022.
Amid that year’s tech washout that followed the Federal Reserve’s decision to begin raising interest rates aggressively in the face of a 40-year high in inflation, Meta stock fell more than 70% from peak to trough.
Wall Street widely cheered the results following the company’s latest earnings report.
As its Big Tech peers have announced ambitious investment plans toward AI this year, Meta’s spending announcement received the most positive reception. And news this week that the company began widespread layoffs across teams only adds to investors’ optimism that its plans to invest up to $65 billion this year toward AI will be amid increased efficiency across its teams.
«The integration of AI-enabled features and products within their Family of Apps is helping drive more activity on their platforms with greater ad engagement,» wrote D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria following the company’s earnings report in late January.
«Whether it’s Reels, Threads, What’s App, Facebook, etc., Meta expects to continue gaining share in key markets and become leaders in their respective categories.»
