Microsoft rebounds after multi-day selloff as AI optimism returns
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives predicted 'very strong' Q4 earnings for Microsoft and other Big Tech names, calling this a 'mid-1996 moment' for AI adoption, per Benzinga. BlackRock and Microsoft's $30 billion AI infrastructure fund continues raising capital, with $12.5 billion secured so far.

Analysis

Today's gain reverses four consecutive down days that saw MSFT fall roughly 6% on data center cost concerns. The positive analyst commentary and continued AI infrastructure momentum appear to be providing a counterweight to last week's margin worries. MSFT outperformed its sector by 1.2%, suggesting stock-specific buying rather than broad tech strength.
