On Tuesday, four of the five FAANG stocks — a popular basket consisting of Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google's parent, Alphabet — hit record intraday highs.

Alphabet was the only one to fall short; its record from February 19 stands. Still, shares are up more than 12% year-to-date.

Technology stocks have outperformed during the market's swift rally from March 23 lows and the Nasdaq composite's 30% tumble over roughly five weeks. The outperformance has been driven by the perception that the tech industry is well positioned to lead the economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

Tech's outperformance has pushed the Nasdaq to multiple record highs since the March bottom, and it was the first index to recover its pandemic losses.
