FANG/FAANG Stocks

An acronym originally coined by CNBC's Jim Cramer for Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Google -- the mega-cap tech stocks that dominated market returns in the 2010s. Apple was later added to make it FAANG. After Facebook rebranded to Meta and Google to Alphabet, some commentators shifted to "Magnificent Seven" or other groupings, but the FAANG label endures as shorthand for big tech market leadership.
