Microsoft's stock (MSFT) remains a buy-to-hold option in the investment community according to numerous analysts, backed by encouraging predictions for its long-term performance. It has earned the endorsement of veterans in the trading sector like
David Tepper and
D.E. Shaw, as well as billion-dollar hedge funds. Though
Jim Cramer, an investor, endorses the stock, he expressed concern over Microsoft losing its advantage in AI. The firm is striving for cost and performance efficiencies by reducing its dependency on
OpenAI. Furthermore, Microsoft has been touted as an excellent investment opportunity in the realm of edge computing, predictive analytics, and even metaverse stocks. However, an underwhelming sales forecast and the decline in Azure Cloud Segment's Revenue cast shadows on its potential, leading to a dip in stock prices.
Ken Fisher and
Ken Griffin hold varied views about the stock with the latter selling off $750 million worth. Recent occasions of insiders selling the stocks, rising cloud competition, and costs contribute to investors' reservations. Nonetheless, Microsoft's announcement of a $60 billion stock buyback strategy has been viewed positively.
