Subsequently, the index experienced some volatility and was largely rangebound.\nIn late January, the market suffered a sell-off, which was blamed on the speculative behavior of retail investors.\nAlthough the market bounced back up fairly soon, another sell-off, orchestrated by tech meltdown, ensued in early March.\nAfter a broadly higher move until early May, the market retreated yet again but this time around the pullback was short-lived.\nThe resilient market shot back up and is hovering near record territory despite macroeconomic worries overrising inflation.\nApple In The Red:Apple Inc.(NASDAQ:AAPL), which is the most valued tech company, has had an unenterprising first half.\nDespite reporting stellar first-quarter results, as the iPhone 12 momentum spilled over past the holiday quarter, the shares are still down for the year-to-period.\nIn comparison, Apple shares were solidly higher in the same period last year and ended 2020 as the top-performing FAANG stock.\nApple's best comes out in the second half, be it its products or financial performance.\nGiven that Apple is Apple, one cannot write it off yet. The likely launch of the next iteration of its iPhone in September could kickstart a rally in the second half.\n\nNetflix Puts Up a Flop Show:Streaming giantNetflix, Inc.(NASDAQ:NFLX) is facing turbulence amid increasing competition, which has put pressure on its net subscriber addition.\nAdditionally, tougher comparisons versus the lock-down induced strength in 2020 is serving as a dampener.\nThe stock is still down for the year-to-date period vis-à-vis very strong performances for the first half of 2020 and the full year 2020.\nWith \"Money Heist\" and \"The Witcher\" — two of Netflix' most successful shows — likely to return in the second half, subscriber numbers should look up in the fourth quarter, according to KeyBanc analyst Justin Patterson.\nLaggards Turn Leaders:Shares ofFacebook, Inc.(NASDAQ:FB) andAlphabet, Inc.(NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG), both of which had a single-digit gain percentage in the first half of 2020, are the best performers of the year-to-date period in 2021.\nFacebook has emerged stronger from the data scandal and the COVID-19 pandemic came at the right time, giving a lift to its user engagement.\nDaily active users rose 11% year-over-year to 1.84 billion at the end of 2020 and the monthly active user count was at 2.80 billion, up 12%.\nThese increased further to 1.878 billion and 2.853 billion, respectively at the end of the first quarter of 2021.\nGoogle is thus far the best performing FAANG stocks, thanks to solid support from rising ad revenues from its core search business and its YouTube video platform.\nIn addition to ad revenues, YouTube now collects subscription fees. The company also has a thriving cloud computing business.\nThe sum-of-parts contribution of each of Google's businesses has given an enviable valuation for shares.\nAmazon Cools Off:Amazon.com, Inc.(NASDAQ:AMZN), which was the second-best performing FAANG in 2020, is barely in the green in the first half of 2021.\nThis is despite the online retail giant turning in a stellar performance in the first quarter. Amazon's core retail sales as well as its high-margin AWS cloud business and advertising all performed well in the quarter. On top of this, the company gave upbeat guidance for the second quarter.\nThe average analyst price target for Amazon is $4,238, suggesting roughly 24% upside from current levels. Amazon shares present a buying opportunity, barring any fundamental mishap, given its muted performance thus far this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":575,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
