Movement Alert|Microsoft Falls 3.03% in Regular Trading, OpenAI Massive Cash Burn and AI Strategy Shift Weigh on Sentiment

Market Focus03:57

On June 23, Microsoft fell 3.03% in regular trading, trading at approximately $368.05/share, with turnover of $121.83 billion. Multiple negative catalysts continued to pressure market sentiment surrounding the stock.

On the news front, Microsoft-backed OpenAI reported first-quarter cash consumption of $3.7 billion, exceeding half of its $5.7 billion quarterly revenue, raising investor concerns about AI investment return profiles. OpenAI's 2025 full-year spending reached approximately $34 billion with a net loss of roughly $38.5 billion, though the majority stemmed from non-cash accounting charges related to its corporate restructuring rather than pure operational burn.

Additionally, Microsoft was reported to have terminated approximately $3 billion in cloud infrastructure negotiations with Oracle and is reportedly considering replacing costly US AI models with DeepSeek to address mounting AI deployment expenses. The options market also saw two multi-million-dollar in-the-money put orders, signaling institutional hedging against medium-to-long-term downside risk and further intensifying bearish sentiment.
