      Why I Think Microsoft Could be More Ambitious

      $Microsoft(MSFT)$ 's latest announcement of a $60 billion stock buyback program and a 10% dividend increase demonstrates the company's robust financial health and confidence in its future. The move, which replaces a similar buyback program from 2021, is a clear signal to investors that Microsoft remains committed to returning value to shareholders. On top of that, the stock has gained 31% over the past year, further solidifying its dominance in the market. But while I appreciate the shareholder-friendly gesture, I can’t help but wonder if there are better ways for Microsoft to invest its cash reserves, especially in innovation and expansion. MSFT Daily Chart over 1 Year Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing a company reward shareholders with buybacks

      Investment Reflection: Microsoft Stock (September 20, 2024)

      My additional investment in Microsoft $Microsoft(MSFT)$   stock on September 20, 2024, stems from the company's impressive advancements in AI, particularly through the widespread adoption of its Copilot AI assistants across various software platforms. Microsoft has successfully leveraged AI as a growth driver, which is now evident in its business performance, especially in areas like GitHub and Microsoft 365. GitHub Copilot: A Major Revenue Driver The most striking success has been the GitHub Copilot, an AI assistant that enhances productivity for developers. This tool, which suggests code and even completes coding tasks, has become a crucial revenue contributor. In fact, GitHub Copilot accounted for 40% of

      Investment Reflection: Microsoft (MSFT) Stock (September 13, 2024)

      My additional investment in Microsoft (MSFT) $Microsoft(MSFT)$  stock on September 13, 2024, is driven by the company’s continued dominance in the cloud and AI markets. Microsoft has proven itself as a key player in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing, showing robust growth in its Azure services and a solid foundation for long-term success. Azure’s Growth and Strategic AI Integration One of the most compelling reasons behind this investment is Microsoft's rapid growth in its cloud business. Azure revenue grew by 29% year-over-year in the last quarter, a clear indication of how enterprises are increasingly migrating to cloud-based solutions. As companies move away from on-premise servers, Microsoft A

      AI Stocks 🧠 - Retracement done?

      If you're interested in AI stocks, you're not alone. However, the shine may finally be coming off AI. If so, the rotation out of Big Tech into small caps that has emerged recently could quickly accelerate. The question then is whether outperforming laggards hold up the broader market, or does the AI selloff drive benchmark indices into the red? Another round of upbeat results and outlooks from the second-quarter earnings season will reinvigorate the bull case for all things related to artificial intelligence and microchips. PLTR As you may already know, broad bullishness for AI stocks has played a significant role in Palantir's strong stock price performance as of late. Back in April and May, a wave of fear, uncertainty and doubt about the continuation of favorable GenAI demand trends led

Tesla's net profit plummeted by 42%, significantly below market expectations. In contrast, Google's performance exceeded market expectations, but its guidance for the second half of the year did not provide any pleasant surprises.

      Central Bank Moves and Earnings Flood Shape Market Sentiment

      Central Bank Movements and Market Reactions Bank of Japan Policy Shift The Bank of Japan (BoJ) made headlines by raising its benchmark interest rate to around 0.25% from a range of 0% to 0.1%. Additionally, it announced plans to reduce its bond-buying pace to around ¥3 trillion ($19.6 billion) per month in Q1 2026. Governor Kazuo Ueda's decisive move towards policy normalization signals a significant shift from years of ultra-easy monetary policies, including negative interest rates that lasted until March. This hawkish tilt could mark a turning point for the yen as traders anticipate a narrowing of the US-Japan interest rate gap.

      My decision to increase my investment in Microsoft Corporation $Microsoft(MSFT)$   on 23 August 2024, was driven by a strong belief in the company’s long-term growth potential, particularly in AI and cloud computing. Growth in AI-Driven Areas Despite concerns over margin impacts stemming from substantial investments in generative AI, Microsoft’s growth in AI-driven segments such as Azure and GitHub continues to be robust. Azure, being one of the leading cloud platforms globally, is well-positioned to benefit from the expanding adoption of AI across industries. GitHub, with its integration of AI-powered tools like Copilot, also reflects Microsoft’s strategic direction toward enhancing developer productivity

      Microsoft technical and fundamental analysis

      **Microsoft Earnings on Tuesday: Will the Giant Lead Rebound?** Microsoft is set to report fiscal fourth-quarter earnings after the closing bell Tuesday, July 30. The tech giant is projected to report revenue of $64.37 billion, according to estimates compiled by Visible Alpha, representing a 14.6% rise over the year-ago period. Net income is expected to come in at $21.88 billion, or $2.93 per share, a 9.3% increase from the final quarter of fiscal 2023. My insight about potential earnings beats due to Apple paying license fees and increased usage of Microsoft Office integrated with ChatGPT could indeed contribute positively. ### Technical Analysis **Current Price and Trend:** Microsoft's stock has shown a strong upward trend over the past few months, with the current price hovering around

      $Microsoft(MSFT)$   Microsoft Corp. raised its quarterly dividend 10% and unveiled a new $60 billion stock-buyback program, matching the size of a repurchase plan three years ago. The company’s shares gained as much as 2.4%. The software company said late Monday that shareholders as of Nov. 21 will receive a quarterly dividend of 83 cents a share, compared with the current 75 cents. The share repurchase agreement, which has no expiration date, replaces a buyback program announced in 2021 that was also $60 billion.

      $Microsoft(MSFT)$   Really good news out of Microsoft today with the increase in quarterly dividend and the 60B buyback program.  With its uninterrupted track record of increasing dividends and its generous buybacks, our total yield from holding MSFT keeps increasing every year.  No need to trade or speculate, holding MSFT provides safe returns AND strong growth as it is well positioned to benefit from AI proliferation in everything we do.
