Almost Half of Investors Negative on FANG Stocks
by AAII Staff | June 13, 2019
This week’s Sentiment Survey special question asked AAII members for their current opinion of the so-called FANG stocks: Facebook, Apple, Netflix and Google-parent Alphabet. Forty-four percent of respondents express negative viewpoints. Many of these AAII members cite the risks of regulation, valuations and/or future competitive threats. Just under 20% of respondents have a positive outlook for the FANG stocks. About 13% of respondents are mixed, favoring some of the companies but cautious on others. Another 13% express a neutral opinion or say they don’t own/follow them.
Here is a sampling of the responses:
- “At risk of being broken up by regulators in the coming years.”
- “Great stocks. Subject to more risks than before, but they have years of growth ahead.”
- “I’m bullish on Apple and Alphabet, but neutral on Netflix and Facebook.”
- “More expensive than I care to deal with.”
