MAMAA

What Does MAMAA Mean in a Text?

MAMAA means "Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Alphabet."

MAMAA is an acronym for five high-performing technology stocks in the U.S. stock market. The five companies are: Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Alphabet.

In 2013, Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC's Mad Money introduced the term FANG, to refer to Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Google. In 2017, he added Apple to the list and coined FAANG.

By 2023, the value of Netflix stocks had fallen dramatically, while those of Microsoft had risen and both Google and Facebook had rebranded. This prompted Cramer to suggest a new acronym for the highest performing tech stocks and MAMAA was born.
