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 on January 14, implying nearly 38% upside, following its Q4 2025 CIO Survey showing favorable software spending plans. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives 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 bubble.

Analysis

Today's modest gain appears to be a technical bounce after four consecutive down days totaling roughly 5% in losses, driven by concerns over data center cost commitments. The positive analyst commentary provides a supportive backdrop, though the move is relatively muted given the stock is simply recovering a fraction of recent losses. Microsoft outperformed its flat tech sector, suggesting some stock-specific buying interest.
