The well-known market grouping known as 'The Magnificent Seven' has been declared no longer relevant for the US AI trade or as a market grouping, according to strategists at multiple banks. The moniker, which once captured investor attention, has lost its significance in the current market landscape.

One strategist, speaking on the context of AI, noted that the The Magnificent Seven grouping is no longer relevant. Meanwhile, Citi strategists similarly stated the moniker is no longer relevant and highlighted the group's underperformance.

According to reports, Magnificent Seven as a group is underperforming the broader market this year. This underperformance is cited as a key reason for the reassessment of the grouping's relevance.
