If you’ve been following tech stocks over the past few months, you’ve likely seen the term BATMMAAN gaining traction. Think of it as a supercharged, AI-focused evolution of the MAG7 – the dominant tech giants of the 2010s.
From MAG7 to BATMMAAN: The Evolution of Tech’s Powerhouses
Representing the Nasdaq’s trillion-dollar market cap club, driving the future of AI, cloud computing, digital services, and next-gen infrastructure, these eight companies include:
- Broadcom: A leading semiconductor manufacturer.
- Alphabet: Google’s parent company, driving innovation across search, AI, and digital services.
- Tesla: A leader in electric vehicles and battery technology.
- Meta: The company behind Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
- Microsoft: A software and AI leader shaping the digital world.
- Amazon: The e-commerce and cloud computing titan.
- Apple: A visionary force in smartphones, wearables, and computing.
- NVIDIA: The dominant player in semiconductors and GPUs.
This group of mega-caps drew renewed attention in December as their stocks kept climbing despite broader market slowdowns. In fact, their combined market cap surged by $1.9 trillion in the last two months of 2024.
The BATMMAAN Boom: It All Comes Down to AI
Each of these companies has made substantial investments in artificial intelligence, positioning themselves to capitalize on different stages of its development and adoption.
First, there’s the computing layer. While DeepSeek’s recent developments are notable, full-scale AI deployments will likely require massive processing power. NVIDIA’s GPUs have been the backbone of AI workloads, but Broadcom’s cost-effective AI chips have seen surging demand – boosting the company’s stock price and putting them in the same conversation as its MAG7 predecessors.
Then there’s the cloud and software layer, where early AI innovators like Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft take the lead. By leveraging the previous layer in their data centres, these companies are positioned to build the central nervous systems of future AI deployments, dictating how applications operate and evolve.
Finally, there’s the end hardware layer, where Apple and Tesla hold the most promise. Apple aims to remain the primary touchpoint for AI users, establishing partnerships with companies like OpenAI to integrate their tools with Apple’s products. Meanwhile, Tesla continues to generate massive amounts of proprietary data, fuelling AI development and advancing its robotic and autonomous vehicle ambitions.
Together, the BATMMAAN stocks give investors wide exposure to companies pursuing the future of AI development.
