Unimpressed by Big Tech in Q3? Now's the time to try these top value plays instead

Investing.com — For the first time in years, staying long on the Mag 7 hasn't quite paid off as expected. Since the start of H2, the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:MAGS ) has shed -1.05%, while the S&P 500 gained a solid 3.44% during the same period.

The main reason behind the trend was an extraordinary earnings season, in which corporate profitability grew at the fastest pace since 2021, while big tech consistently failed to meet the lofty expectations.

Against this backdrop, investors who managed to anticipate the market by broadening their investments across different higher-value blue-chip stocks scored fat profits - and are now well positioned to continue to do so as the market shoots for a new all-time high.

Such is the case of our premium users who, for less than $9 a month, followed our list of AI-picked winning stocks for both July and August.
