Microsoft rebounds after multi-day selloff on bullish analyst commentary
Morgan Stanley maintained an Overweight rating with a $650 price target, citing Microsoft's position to benefit from rising software spending and Azure's dominance as the preferred cloud vendor. Wedbush's Dan Ives predicted 'very strong' Q4 earnings for Microsoft and other Big Tech names, comparing the current AI adoption cycle to mid-1996.

Analysis

Today's modest gain breaks a four-day losing streak that saw MSFT decline roughly 5% on data center cost concerns. The positive analyst commentary from Morgan Stanley and Wedbush appears to have provided a floor, though the recovery is muted. Other news including the Musk-OpenAI trial proceeding and Italian regulatory probes of Activision Blizzard were largely neutral to slightly negative but didn't dominate sentiment.
