AI CHART
Even with election chaos and sky-high prices, the U.S. stock market still crushed it in 2024. And guess what? AI-powered tech giants were behind most of the gains.
So, What Happened?
The S&P 500 jumped 25%, but here’s the catch—over half of that came from just seven companies. Yep, the so-called "Magnificent Seven" (Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, Tesla, and Nvidia) basically dragged the market upward on their own.
And if we’re pointing fingers, Nvidia alone surged 171%—contributing 20% of the entire S&P 500’s gain. Blame it on the AI boom and the ongoing investment frenzy in chips.
The Breakdown
Without tech stocks? The S&P 500 would have returned just 11% instead of 25%. Let that sink in.
Tech & AI accounted for 56.5% of the total gains.
Financials chipped in 15%.
Consumer discretionary (thanks to Amazon + Tesla) added 11%, despite inflation.
Amazon’s stock jumped 44%, Tesla’s climbed 63%, and together, they basically carried their entire sector.
So, What’s Next?
The AI hype isn’t slowing down, and tech is still the market’s MVP. But if you strip out AI-powered stocks? The market rally looks a lot weaker than the headlines suggest.
