Microsoft rebounds after multi-day selloff as AI optimism returns
Microsoft gained following positive analyst commentary from Wedbush's Dan Ives, who predicted 'very strong' Q4 earnings driven by AI enterprise demand, comparing the current moment to 'mid-1996' rather than a speculative bubble. BlackRock and Microsoft's $30B AI infrastructure fund also continued gaining attention after raising $12.5B so far.

Analysis

This bounce follows four consecutive down days totaling roughly 5% decline, largely driven by data center cost commitment concerns. Today's recovery appears to be a technical rebound combined with renewed AI optimism, as MSFT outperformed both its sector (XLK flat) and the broader market. The Musk-OpenAI lawsuit heading to trial and Italian regulatory probe into Activision appear to have had minimal impact on sentiment.
