It could have been a decent blip in the broader tech world.
But was an absolute earthquake in the gaming industry.
Here's the latest Microsoft stock forecast in light of recent events.
Microsoft's long-awaited earnings report came out Wednesday, and the company beat expectations all around.
This doesn't come as a surprise seeing that a large number of businesses have switched to a remote model due to COVID-19. This switch has led to an uptick in demand for Microsoft's cloud and remote collaboration tools, which has boosted their numbers significantly.
These numbers are impressive - but the market didn't react as you might expect to these impressive numbers.
With Microsoft's latest financial report, the company's shares soared - resulting in a valuation of $1 trillion...
Beyond that, Microsoft's stock forecast is looking bright for retail investors...
So with the global economy slowing down, now is the time for retail investors to jump in on blue-chip stocks for long-term investment opportunities.
Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) has long been one of our favorite tech stocks to buy, and we have five bold MSFT stock price predictions that back up our enthusiasm for this tech giant.
These predictions are thanks to Microsoft's entry into this new market.
Earlier this month, Microsoft Corp. launched a $7.5 billion takeover of the web-based hosting service, GitHub.
The acquisition, orchestrated by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, brought out critics who claim that GitHub lacks any real profit potential.
However, they're way off the mark.
The price of MSFT stock is trading at record highs right now.
Of course, the current price could look cheap compared to where it could be trading by next year.
Here are three reasons why we are so bullish on MSFT stock...
Microsoft stock has been one of our favorite tech stocks for years.
But the company's new role in the booming marijuana industry could send shares even higher in 2018.
Here's more on the big Microsoft catalyst that Wall Street is ignoring...
In February 2017, Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) led a $26 million funding round in a drone company.
This company provides real-time mapping services for drones to broadcast their flights.
The Microsoft stock price is climbing in 2017, as the tech giant dominates the emerging cloud computing industry.
And it's using cloud computing to make money in the legal marijuana market.
Wall Street smiled at a beefed up Microsoft dividend yesterday, but cheered at a $40 billion stock buyback program.
Of course, they got it exactly backwards.
Expectations are for Microsoft Corp. to report progress in its cloud businesses that are destined to replace PCs as the source of future growth. That could give MSFT stock, which is down on the year, a bit of a boost.
Here's what investors need to watch in the Microsoft Q4 earnings...
The Microsoft stock price fell after the technology giant made a shocking announcement.
Microsoft plans to purchase professional network LinkedIn for $26.2 billion.
Although Wall Street has soured on Microsoft stock lately, Money Morning expert Shah Gilani is confident it will get to $60 - and beyond.
And Gilani knows what he's talking about. He called MSFT stock a buy in July 2013 - right before it went on a run in which it rose 80%.
Here's why Gilani says now is the time to buy Microsoft stock...
The Microsoft stock price fell as much as 9% today after the company's Q3 earnings disappointed Wall Street.
Earnings missed expectations by $0.02, and Microsoft lowered guidance for the current quarter. Both helped drive the MSFT stock price down.
With the Microsoft stock price edging close to its all-time high, the Q3 earnings due out tomorrow (Thursday) will tell us a lot about how much higher shares will go.
Because the company has beat expectations for 10 quarters running, the odds are high Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) will again beat the Street when it reports tomorrow (Thursday).
