Earnings season is rolling on and the Magnificent 7 stocks, minus NVIDIA which reported earnings a few weeks ago, are in the spotlight. 

Some are calling the Mag 7 stocks “defensive plays.” But are they?

None are classic value stocks with low price-to-earnings (P/E) or price-to-sales (P/S) ratios. But all of them are trillion-dollar companies in diverse industries that have become a staple of modern life.

Two Mag 7 Companies Are Earnings All Stars

Two of the six have great earnings surprise track records and are earnings all-stars with just 1 miss in the last 5 years. It’s not easy, even for a Mag 7 stock, to beat nearly every quarter for 5 years.

If it’s not the pandemic, it’s the emergence of new technologies like the AI Revolution, that can trip up even the best companies.

Who has the best chart among the Mag 7 stocks soon to report earnings? It’s a close call in October 2025.
