\n \u2014 could perhaps better be known as the \u201cmessy seven\u201d after a third-quarter performance that was far less correlated with the S&P 500
\n SPX
\n than what was seen in the second quarter. <\/p>\n

Four members of the Magnificent Seven \u2014 Alphabet, Meta, Nvidia and Amazon, outperformed the S&P 500\u2019s 3.6% decline in the third quarter, and among those, all but Amazon\u2019s stock logged gains. Shares of Tesla, Microsoft and Apple each posted declines and lagged the index. <\/p>\n

The seven stocks had an average 0.47 correlation with the S&P 500 during the third quarter, which is seen as a modest correlation. That\u2019s notable because the Magnificent Seven make up a large portion of the market-weighted S&P 500, constituting 29.4% of the index\u2019s total market cap as of Thursday\u2019s close, according to Dow Jones Market Data.<\/p>\n

In the second quarter, however, when the S&P 500 moved more than 8% higher, the correlation with the Magnificent Seven was far stronger, at 0.87. <\/p>\n

Back then, all seven names outperformed the S&P 500, with Nvidia shares leading the pack amid heavy optimism around artificial-intelligence. <\/p>\n

The third-quarter correlation between Big Tech and the broader market harkens back to the first quarter, when there was a 0.48 correlation, even as the Magnificent Seven all beat out the S&P 500 then. <\/p>\n
