The narrow stock market rally could broaden out beyond megacap tech, and investors should target the “Magnificent 80” stocks, according to Bank of America’s Savita Subramanian. The firm’s head of U.S. equity and quantitative strategy wrote in a Friday note that the Magnificent Seven — Amazon , Apple , Alphabet , Meta Platforms , Microsoft , Nvidia and Tesla — likely won’t experience a meaningful deceleration this year. She forecasts the remaining S & P 493 will catch up in June or earlier and says the broader field of stocks could surpass the Magnificent Seven’s profits in the fourth quarter. Both are key reasons Subramanian sees the market rally broadening, alongside an expected spike in volatility tied to the U.S. election and Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. To play the expected widening market rally, Subramanian points toward the so-called “Magnificent 80” stocks, which are composed largely of companies with strong fundamentals. These names, which Bank of America screened for, have higher equity income potential than cash, touting competitive dividend yields. They are also expected to grow their dividends by at least 5% over the next three years. Here are a few of those Magnificent 80 companies that are rated buy by Bank of America.
