Shares of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Google's parent company, have officially entered a bear market, down 22% from their 52-week highs.

Growth-focused tech stocks, especially some of the world's leading technology stocks, like the Magnificent Seven, have been hit particularly hard since the start of the year.
