Large-Cap Casualties of the Trade War

large cap buying opportunities

The trade war appears to be at a crossroads, and the market’s reaction has created some interesting opportunities in large-cap stocks.

To identify potential bargains in the aftermath, I analyzed the S&P 500’s 100 largest companies by market cap, examining their drawdowns from 52-week highs and performance relative to the index over the past 13 weeks.

The results reveal some striking casualties: household names like Tesla (-49%), NVIDIA (-33%), and Amazon (-26%) have taken significant hits.

While this isn’t a recommendation to buy, these pullbacks might present opportunities for those who’ve been waiting for better entry points.

Here’s the complete list of 100 large-cap stocks, ranked by their relative underperformance to the S&P 500:
