Exactly, FAANG is a thing of the past, now the MAMAA is the Big Five

(And TBH, it had been a surprise to be FANG, not FAMG to begin with)



The Muppet in me is still holding out for MANAMA.


Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, Alphabet, Meta, Amazon

Works for me.


We need two more, NVIDIA and AMD? Then it's MANAMANA (do do do do do).


Dell and Oracle, etc


There are a ton of large tech companies once you get beyond the obvious "hot" ones.


Microsoft should have always been part of the Big Five. FAANG never made much sense.


Exactly!

Although back in 2013 the criteria was: "totally dominant in their markets". AFAIK, Microsoft dominates only two markets (OS and office suites) and it's only if we limit ourselves to desktop; even then, it's not a total domination.


But which market has Apple ever been dominating?


That was criteria for FANG. Via Wikipedia:

> Cramer expanded FANG to FAANG in 2017, adding Apple to the other four companies due to its revenues placing it as a potential Fortune 50 company.
