Alphabet, 9 others to buy for 2025, Barron’s says

The Magnificent Seven stocks–Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Nvidia (NVDA) and Tesla (TSLA)–thoroughly dominated the stock market in 2024, but they might not be the only place to invest in 2025, Andrew Bary writes in this week’s edition of Barron’s. The list of Barron’s 10 favorite stocks for 2025 reflects an expectation that opportunities exist outside the Magnificent Seven, while overall stock market returns could be more muted after back-to-back gains of more than 25% for the S&P 500 index. It reflects a bet that value-oriented investing isn’t completely dead. The list includes Alphabet, ASML Holding (ASML), Alibaba (BABA), Uber Technologies (UBER), Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B), Citigroup (C), Everest Group (EG), Moderna (MRNA), SLB (SLB), and LVMH (LVMUY).
