In 2025, the performance of major U.S. tech stocks, collectively known as the Magnificent Seven, has been notably poor, with Tesla ($TSLA) leading the declines at -38%. Other significant losses include Nvidia ($NVDA) at -22%, Apple ($AAPL) at -12%, and Microsoft ($MSFT) at -12%. In contrast, Chinese tech stocks have shown remarkable growth, with Alibaba ($BABA) increasing approximately 85% and Tencent ($TCEHY) rising about 67% over the past year. This divergence in performance raises questions about the future of U.S. tech giants as they struggle while Chinese companies like BYD and Xiaomi reach new record highs, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence and electric vehicles. The broader U.S. market, represented by the S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq-100 (QQQ), has also faced challenges, with SPY up just 6% and QQQ up 5%. The current trend indicates a stark contrast between the fortunes of U.S. and Chinese tech sectors, with the latter appearing to gain strength amid concerns over the former's viability.
