It’s been a painful year so far for megacap technology giants and 2025 is only getting started.

Six members of the group are already tracking for significant year-to-date losses, led by a 40% drop in shares of TeslaMeta Platforms

The drop in technology stocks comes just two months after leaders flocked to Washington for President Donald Trump‘s inauguration and after many megacaps powered to new highs in the post-election rally after his November victory.

Now, macroeconomic uncertainty, recession fears and concerns over the impact of tariffs have fueled a market selloff that’s pushed all the major averages into negative territory for 2025. Earlier this month, the megacaps lost more than $750 billion in market value in the worst day for the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite

Tesla has suffered the most significant losses, shedding about $780 billion in market value since its record close in December. CEO Elon Musk’s close ties to Trump haven’t shielded the stock, with shares on pace for their ninth straight negative week.

While Meta has held on to slight gains, the stock has suffered its fair share of turbulence. The stock is headed for a fifth straight negative week, which would match its five-week decline from October 2022. Shares have lost a fifth of their value since their record close on Feb. 14.
