Trying to find the future Magnificent Seven tech stocks could be easy. From a short-term perspective, it’s as simple as finding which tech stocks in the S&P 500 pose the greatest threat to the current picks.

Once considered just a personal finance app, SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) is now a legitimate, chartered bank that poses a real threat to traditional banking institutions.

General Motors (NYSE:GM), along with Ford (NYSE:F) and Stellantis (NYSE:STLA), is one of the Detroit Three group of American automakers. All three companies experienced financial and operational setbacks due to the United Auto Workers (UAW) strike in October.

Since late last month, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has moved up after slumping for much of October. Admittedly, the broad market’s movement during this time frame helps to explain this rebound.
