While the market is on pace for a strong 2025, most of the stocks in the " Magnificent Seven " merely had good, not fantastic, years. But one Magnificent Seven stock clearly took the crown in 2025: Google parent Alphabet ( GOOG 1.03% ) ( GOOGL 1.03% ) .

As you can see, Alphabet's 64% return trounced the rest of the Magnificent Seven, beating 2025's second-best performer, Nvidia ( NVDA 3.30% ) , by a whopping 33 percentage points and most of the others in the group by more than 50 points.

Here's how Alphabet did it and why the rally may very well continue into 2026. Expand
