Microsoft, as you may know, is a titan globally known for its flagship offerings including Windows, Office, and Azure cloud services. In recent days, AI has been the primary driver of MSFT’s market interests. When you throw the partnership with Open AI and several AI apps in the pipeline into the mix, Microsoft may look like a strong buy, but there is more to the story.
It hasn’t been all smooth sailing for Microsoft lately. Microsoft is seemingly trying hard to get Bing and Copilot off the ground. With seemingly better options on the market, generating interest through Copilot Super Bowl Ad may have turned a few eyes away. Not to mention, the enterprise version of Copilot costs $30, which has garnered some downvotes from users. All in all, even with the latest deal with Activision complete, MSFT is preferably a hold rather than a buy or sell.
