Every once in a while, I like to check in and see how these stocks are performing. For the most part, these names have held up quite well. In fact, all four names are within spitting distance of new all-time highs. Where did market players go during last Wednesday’s market surge? You guessed it: FANG. These companies tend to move markets more than we could ever imagine. Three of them are in the top 10 valuations (by market cap) in the US.

Let’s take a look at each company, along with its monthly chart, to see how far these stocks have come since 2013.

FANG stocks have plenty of bite

Facebook (FB) has been a huge winner. In 2013, the stock was in the mid $20’s, just coming off an embarrassing move down to less than $20. Barron’s had just published a bearish article saying Facebook was heading lower. To underestimate Mark Zuckerberg, his team, and Facebook’s more than 1 billion users was a bad move.

Today, the stock is almost at $136, a nearly 500% increase. The current chart is constructive, as it bases the stock at a higher level. We could see more upside if the economy continues to remain buoyant.

Amazon (AMZN) has been simply amazing. Since we first covered the FANG stocks, the company has rolled several new services, including AWS and Amazon Prime, crippling the traditional retail model.

The stock is up more than 200% since we talked about it four years ago, and we still think there are more highs to be made. The stock is less than 2% away from all-time highs.

Netflix (NFLX) was a controversial name when Jim Cramer talked about it in 2013, but it has moved the most of all the FANG stocks. It was the most bullish chart pattern I found among the four names, and for good reason: heavy institutional buying.

The stock is up more than 750% (adjusted for a 7-1 stock split), and its business has never been better. The transition to a digital model and original programming has positioned Netflix as a market leader – but more competition is coming from Amazon, Apple and Hulu, among others.
