Is Microsoft a FAANG stock?


FAANG is an acronym that refers to the stocks of five hot new technology companies in the 2010s with huge potential growth. FAANG is made up of the first letter of each of these companies. They are Facebook (now Meta), Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google (now Alphabet).

Microsoft is not part of this mix, as by the 2010s Microsoft was already a well established and mature company.
