Richemont SAP Schneider Electric Eaton Ferrari"As great as the Super Seven may be, you're not exactly early to any of these stories — most of these stocks are trading at or near their all-time highs," Cramer said. "Of course, you could say the same thing about the Magnificent Seven, but it makes me a little queasy to recommend something that's already had a huge run."

However, veteran investor and trader Adam Reynolds says it's time to look beyond the U.S. and consider 10 lesser-known companies from across Europe, Japan and Australia. "The focus on U.S. tech stocks — and especially the Magnificent Seven — is driving huge amounts of performance to the U.S. stock market. Calling valuations of U.S. stocks "stretched," Reynolds said there are opportunities in moving toward a "more diversified global portfolio," including better valuations — and returns. In terms of allocation, Reynolds suggests that investors put 30% of their equities portfolio in U.S. stocks, 40% in Asia and 30% in Europe. Chip stocks Shares of semiconductor manufacturer Tokyo Electron are up over 140% over the last 12 months.

Citi has identified European stocks it says are similar to the high-flying " Magnificent Seven " U.S. technology stocks, but trade at cheaper valuations leaving more room for them to rise. Citi's resulting Super Seven picks are Novo Nordisk , ASML , LVMH , SAP , Schneider Electric , Richemont and Ferrari . All of the stocks stocks also trade in the United States. Despite the rally over the past year, Citi points out that as a group, the Super Seven have lagged the Magnificent Seven, with 70% less appreciation since early 2023, leaving more upside potential. Looking ahead, Citi said the Super Seven was well positioned to continue outperforming should current "narrow" market conditions persist, and cautioned against selling stocks on the basis of a narrow market leadership.

London CNN —The Magnificent 7 tech stocks have been a big part of the extraordinary US market rally. But there’s a rival group of companies powering European stocks to new heights with even better returns, by some measures. Dubbed the “Granolas,” those 11 companies accounted for 60% of the gains on Europe’s benchmark stock index over the past 12 months. They have even slightly outperformed the Magnificent 7 over a longer period, according to Goldman Sachs. Their standout performance has “raised the issue of concentration effects” in the region’s stock market, says Philip Lawlor, managing director of markets research at Wilshire Indexes.

The German share price index DAX graph is pictured at the stock exchange in Frankfurt, Germany, January 19, 2024. Staff | ReutersOver the last 12 months, just 11 stocks made up half of the gains that powered the pan-European Stoxx 600 stock index to a record-high close on Friday. "From a Global point of view, the GRANOLAS have even outperformed the so-called Magnificent 7 over the past two years. Their (out)performance is even more impressive on a risk-adjusted basis: with a volatility 2x lower than for the Magnificent 7, the GRANOLAS help to boost the Sharpe ratio." "This suggests that, in Europe, nearly all revenue growth of the STOXX 600 will come from the GRANOLAS.

But don't confuse Osmani's overall optimism on the AI space for blanket bullishness on AI-adjacent stocks. Many AI stocks, in fact, are detached from fundamentals and are risky, he told Business Insider on Monday. As evidence of this, he cited the performance of a basket of 50 AI stocks his firm monitors. "We like companies that can monetize AI already, which, in effect, these companies are recipients of the sizable spend going on in AI — spend from the hyperscalers, spend from the corporates," he said. Below are five AI stocks that Osmani is betting on for the years to come.

Europe is set for a "weak stagnation" that will dampen the market, but several sectors and stocks stand out to UBS as good plays this year as growth stabilizes and inflation slows. "Our macro outlook for Europe is for a weak stagnation that takes European equities modestly lower but delivers another year of actionable divergences between sectors and stocks," UBS analysts led by Gerry Fowler wrote in a Jan. 19 note. "In 2024, we think the factors that will perform are domestic (smaller companies), quality and growth," the analysts wrote, adding that slower growth and lower yields should reduce the headwinds for the valuations of growth stocks. 'Well-positioned, domestic, quality, growth companies' "Well-positioned, domestic, quality, growth companies" that UBS has given buy ratings include Spanish clothing company Industria de Diseno Textil, British bakery chain Greggs and online real estate platform Rightmove as well as French construction player Vinci . It has a buy rating on ASML Holdings , SAP , Infineon Holdings and Capgemini , giving them potential returns of 22%, 17%, 40% and 10%, respectively.
