Microsoft rebounds after multi-day selloff as AI optimism returns
Microsoft gained modestly following several positive AI developments. Dan Ives of Wedbush predicted 'very strong' Q4 earnings for Microsoft driven by AI enterprise demand, per Benzinga. BlackRock and Microsoft's $30B AI infrastructure fund raised $12.5B, and analysts highlighted Azure AI services gaining traction.

Analysis

This marks a reversal after four consecutive down days totaling roughly 5% decline, largely driven by data center cost concerns. Today's bounce appears to reflect stabilization as investors digest the cost commitment news and refocus on AI growth catalysts. The Musk-OpenAI lawsuit heading to trial and Italian regulatory probe on Activision provided minor headwinds but didn't derail the recovery. MSFT outperformed its sector by 0.78%, suggesting stock-specific buying interest.
