Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 47% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 1, 2025
Microsoft looks temporarily out of favor even though it is a leader in AI and cloud services. A very low short-term reading suggests the slide may be overdone, so a bounce is possible. Industry voices say the biggest tech firms could shape TV and distribution, broadening Microsoft's reach, while diversified chip plans reduce supply risks. The long-run demand for AI and cloud adds a safety net for a 3-month buy-the-dip idea.
Primary drivers
- Sharp pullback hints at a short-term rebound in a high-quality company.
- Strong edge in AI and cloud keeps customers and spending tied to Microsoft.
- Big Tech likely to shape TV and distribution, extending Microsoft's reach.
- More chip sources can reduce bottlenecks and keep products and services on track.
