2025 started rough for the broader tech elite, yet a strong rebound may be just around the corner for three key members of the Magnificent Seven.
Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, Meta Platforms Inc. META and Microsoft Corp. MSFT have consistently delivered strong April returns, making the coming weeks potentially pivotal for traders looking to buy on recent dips.
What Makes April So Powerful For Big Tech?
April tends to be kind to big tech. And for these three companies, it’s among the most favorable months on the calendar.
The timing is not coincidental. These firms typically report first-quarter earnings in late April, a period that often delivers upbeat results and fuels momentum.
For Amazon, April is historically the strongest month of the year. The e-commerce and cloud leader has posted a 7.6% average return in April since 1997, closing the month in the green 70% of the time as Table 1 below shows
Some Aprils have delivered eye-popping surges. In 2001, Amazon rallied 54.3%, followed by a nearly identical 54.1% gain in 2007. Even in the depths of the pandemic in 2020, shares jumped 26.8%.
Only in 2022 did the stock log a sharp April loss—23.8%, during a broader market sell-off as the Federal Reserve aggressively raised interest rates to combat inflation.
So far this year, however, Amazon has struggled, with shares down 12% year to date, while the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF MAGS—which tracks Amazon and its fellow mega-cap peers—is down 14.1% year to date.
That may leave room for a technical rebound in mega-cap tech giants if historical trends hold.

Meta Platforms, owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, has also historically enjoyed April tailwinds. The stock has averaged a 5.1% gain, with a 67% win ratio since its public debut in 2012, as Table 2 below shows.
