Microsoft rebounds after multi-day selloff as Morgan Stanley reaffirms bullish outlook
Morgan Stanley maintained its Overweight rating on Microsoft with a $650 price target, citing rising software spending projections and Azure's dominant cloud position, per Yahoo Finance. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives also predicted 'very strong' Q4 earnings for Microsoft and other Big Tech names, comparing the current AI landscape to 'mid-1996' genuine adoption rather than speculative excess.

Analysis

Today's modest gain breaks a four-day losing streak that saw MSFT decline roughly 6% on data center cost concerns. The positive analyst commentary provides a counterweight to last week's margin worries, though the muted bounce suggests investors remain cautious. Microsoft outperformed its flat tech sector, indicating some stock-specific buying interest, though volume context would help confirm conviction.
