Investors have seen the bull market get slaughtered during April of 2025. It’s all about trade wars, tariffs, China restrictions, a slowing economy, political infighting in Washington, D.C., interest rates, deficit spending, ditching U.S. securities and a whole slew of other factors. The world’s largest technology companies could do no wrong in 2024 and some achieved $3 trillion market capitalizations. Zoom into 2025, and now these tech giants have been far from immune to the stock market carnage.
Oggonomics has seen the switch in April where analysts stopped endlessly raising their price targets. Now the analysts on Wall Street are slashing price targets left and right, as well as revenue/earnings expectations, but they are still almost unilaterally maintaining positive ratings like Buy/Outperform/Overweight. This is what some of us refer to as “Downgrade-Lite” analyst calls. The analysts don’t have to lose face, nor do they have to put customers into a forced-loss situation by issuing formal downgrades. That said, the new and expected upside is far less than what it used to be.
The top four companies by market capitalization are Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Amazon. These keep rotating placement but there is a common theme here — each of these companies have lost about $1 trillion (or more!) in market cap over the market malaise in 2025.
This is being presented without commentary and has been formatted alphabetically by stock and then by date for each analyst call. While there are some formal analyst downgrades shown, the reality is that the “Downgrade-Lite” calls are by and large dominating ahead of earnings reports. How that looks after earnings remains to be seen.
Please note that Oggonomics does not maintain any formal ratings or price targets of its own on these stocks. All ratings and price targets issued herein are from the firms issuing them. They are not the opinions of Oggonomics.
