TikStocks' July 2025 tech stock picks ended their first year at a 0.0% return, trailing the S&P 500 by 23.6 percentage points.
One pick — Alphabet (GOOGL) — returned 94.2% and drove most of the gains. The other five picks fell enough to pull the average back to breakeven. Only two of the six picks outperformed the broader market.
The portfolio was published under the title "The 5 Tech Stocks You'll Wish You Bought in 2025" and tracked six positions in total. The S&P 500 gained 23.6% over the same period, reflecting a year of strong equity performance that this basket did not capture.

TikStocks' portfolio of five tech stocks returned +7.2% in the first three days following publication, just below the S&P 500's +7.6% gain over the same stretch. Half of the six tracked picks are outperforming the benchmark.
Microsoft dominates the early results with a +44.1% return, lifting the overall average despite mixed performance elsewhere. The other five picks have so far failed to match the index.
Three days is too short to draw meaningful conclusions about any stock recommendation. These numbers capture immediate market movement, not long-term investment merit.
