Wedbush Backs Nvidia and Microsoft Amid Mag 7 Selloff

Wedbush analysts issued a bullish call on battered Nvidia and Microsoft shares as Magnificent 7 stocks face mounting pressure.

The firm's analysts argued that the beaten-down share prices represent a buying opportunity rather than a warning sign, pushing back against the bearish sentiment gripping Wall Street's most closely watched technology names.

The Magnificent 7 — a cohort that includes some of the largest companies by market capitalization in the United States — has faced sustained pressure from multiple directions, including concerns about stretched valuations, shifting interest-rate expectations, and growing uncertainty around artificial intelligence spending returns. Nvidia and Microsoft, two of the group's most prominent members, have seen their stocks absorb significant losses during the downturn.
