Microsoft rebounds after multi-day selloff as AI optimism returns
Microsoft gained following several positive AI developments, including BlackRock's $12.5 billion raise toward a $30 billion AI infrastructure fund with Microsoft, and analyst Dan Ives predicting 'very strong' Q4 earnings driven by AI enterprise demand. CIO surveys also confirmed Microsoft remains the clear enterprise software leader heading into 2026.

Analysis

This marks a reversal after four consecutive down days that saw MSFT decline roughly 6% on data center cost concerns. The bounce appears to reflect investors refocusing on AI growth potential rather than margin pressures, with the BlackRock infrastructure partnership and bullish analyst commentary providing catalysts. The stock outperformed its flat sector by nearly 1%, suggesting company-specific buying rather than broad tech strength.
