 * Buy Rating Affirmed for Microsoft on Strong Generative AI Market Positioning
   and Azure AI Growth Prospects


BUY RATING AFFIRMED FOR MICROSOFT ON STRONG GENERATIVE AI MARKET POSITIONING AND
AZURE AI GROWTH PROSPECTS




TipRanks
Oct. 1, 2024, 03:46 AM










Analyst Keith Weiss from Morgan Stanley maintained a Buy rating on Microsoft
(MSFT – Research Report) and keeping the price target at $506.00.

Keith Weiss has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding
Microsoft’s positioning and potential in the market. One of the key aspects
influencing this positive outlook is Microsoft’s strong positioning to
capitalize on the large opportunity presented by Generative AI. Despite the
broader software group’s performance, Microsoft has shown resilience, with its
stock performance indicating potential for growth. Weiss acknowledges the
patience required for Generative AI to positively impact revenue trends but
notes the company’s confidence in their strategic positioning and the demand for
productivity themes, even in a less favorable spending environment.

Additionally, Weiss’s recommendation stems from Microsoft’s solid performance in
their Azure AI segment, which has reportedly crossed a significant annual
run-rate, signaling robust growth prospects. The conversations with investors
revolved around the usage of Generative AI tools and the company’s guided
acceleration in the latter half of the year. Microsoft’s investor relations have
highlighted a stable macro environment over recent quarters and investor
confidence in the company’s ability to meet the ramping demand for Azure AI
solutions, despite potential supply constraints. This optimism, coupled with the
company’s strategic investments in Generative AI, underpins Weiss’s Buy rating
for Microsoft’s stock.

In another report released on September 26, Oppenheimer also assigned a Buy
rating to the stock with a $500.00 price target.
