I've Covered the "Magnificent Seven" Stocks Ever Since the Term Was Coined. Only 4 of Them Still Deserve the Title.

New technologies, competition, and the simple passage of time are working against yesteryear's biggest winners.

The term "Magnificent Seven" was coined just three years ago by Bank of America analyst Michael Hartnett in 2023.
