Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 1% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published November 3, 2025
Big companies are still spending on AI, and cloud leaders are stepping up activity. A huge deal this week linking major cloud players and AI chips suggests demand for building AI tools in the cloud will stay strong. Price action looks healthy, with more buyers stepping in than usual. Risks: the stock is sensitive to economy-wide news and may look pricey, so consider buying in parts and look for strength to return near recent peaks.
Primary drivers
- Azure and Copilot ride rising demand for practical AI at work globally
- Price action trends remain positive, attracting steady buyer interest
- Large cloud providers keep spending on AI, lifting long-term demand
- Strong, dependable large-cap company that often leads the market
