Microsoft rebounds after multi-day selloff as analyst optimism and AI momentum lift shares
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives predicted 'very strong' Q4 earnings for Microsoft and other Big Tech names, calling this a 'mid-1996 moment' for AI adoption. Morgan Stanley maintained an Overweight rating with a $650 price target, implying nearly 38% upside, citing favorable software spending trends from their CIO survey.

Analysis

This modest gain snaps a four-day losing streak that saw MSFT decline roughly 5% 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 the rebound is company-specific rather than broad tech strength.
