’fang stocks’
FANG represents the most popular and effective technical stocks on the market, which have yielded impressive results for their investors.
Each of the shares of FANG is a stock with a large capital, which is focused on technologies and Internet services. They are also considered growing stocks due to the continued emergence of technological devices, such as cloud storage devices, large data, social networks and e-tools
Despite the fact that FANG is compared to the dot-com stocks of the late 1990s, most analysts agree that the growth momentum of these growth stocks is sustainable if there are more technological advances, especially in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. While investors can diversify their securities portfolio with these growth stocks, they also need to be diligent in reading and understanding the fundamentals and growth indicators

This new acronym in fashion on Wall Street means Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google. Four companies at the top in the stock market;called fang stoks.

Momented just after the victory of Donald Trump, the American fang stocks have since resumed their incredible march forward. On January 25, the Nasdaq, on which the majority of high-tech companies are quoted, ended the session on a new historic high, well beyond the 5,600-point mark crossed for the first time. Since the beginning of the year, it is already the eighth time that the Nasdaq sets a new record. At 5,656 points, the index posted a gain of 5% since January 1 and 23% over the last twelve months.
The return to form of technological values is symbolized by the performance of ’FANG’, the new acronym in vogue on Wall Street to designate the American giants of the Web. Facebook, which is listed on the New Stock Exchange, posted a 14% gain since January 1, Amazon 11.6%, Netflix 12.7% and Google (now officially called Alphabet) 8.3%. The actions of the video streaming platform and the search engine are evolving at their highest level. Those of the social network and the e-merchant are very close to their record reached in the fall of 2016.
Behind these four locomotives, almost all the titles are in the green. Apple is up 5.2%, Microsoft gains 2.5%, IBM gains 7.4% and Salesforce jumps 14.6%. The only notable exception was Qualcomm, which suffered a 12.7% drop this year. The title of the chip maker is plagued by the opening of an investigation by US competition authorities and the filing of a complaint by Apple, one of its major customers.
