Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 5% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published December 8, 2025
Microsoft gives steady exposure to AI because its cloud (Azure) and Copilot tools are driving software and cloud sales. It usually moves less wildly than pure chip companies, so it can be a calmer way to participate in AI growth. Reports about shifting some chip work to Broadcom read as cost and supply planning, not falling demand. Over the next few months we prefer to add slowly on small price dips inside the current range.
Primary drivers
- Cloud and AI software sales are driving steady revenue growth
- Shifting chip partners should lower costs and ease supply
- Price action suggests big investors are buying gradually
- Healthy cash and sentiment support modest further gains
