$MSFT last leg higher?This one is a risky trade as it's all up to earnings, but the chart to me looks like MSFT wants one last leg higher before topping. If price finds a bottom in this $390 range, then I think we will see a big push higher up to around $450-$500. Let's see how it plays out.Longby benjihyamUpdated 337

Microsoft Earnings: Can the Tech Giant Continue Its Stellar Run?As Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:MSFT ) prepares to unveil its latest earnings report after Thursday's closing bell, investors are on edge, bracing for potential market-moving revelations. With the stock trading near record highs, all eyes are on whether Microsoft can maintain its momentum and deliver on lofty expectations. Earnings Anticipation: Analysts are forecasting Microsoft to report earnings of $2.81 per share on revenue of $60.77 billion. However, the so-called Whisper number, reflecting the Street's unofficial sentiment, stands slightly higher at $2.91 per share. Such a tight earnings range underscores the significance of every data point in Microsoft's upcoming report. Fundamentals in Focus: Microsoft's track record of earnings growth over recent years paints a picture of resilience and innovation. From $5.76 per share in 2020 to $9.81 per share in 2023, the company has consistently outperformed expectations. Looking ahead, analysts project further earnings growth to $11.67 in 2024 and $13.38 in 2025. Despite this stellar performance, Microsoft's price-to-earnings ratio of 37 remains notably higher than the S&P 500 average, signaling investor confidence and expectations for future growth. Technical Analysis: Technically, Microsoft's stock is trading around 4% below its 52-week high, with current levels below the 50-day moving average. However, the stock remains within striking distance of its all-time high, suggesting potential for further upside. As traders await the earnings release, bulls are hoping for a gap up and a subsequent rally, while bears eye a gap down scenario, anticipating a decline. Market Implications: Given Microsoft's status as a bellwether of the technology sector, the outcome of its earnings report is likely to have far-reaching implications for the broader market. A positive surprise could fuel a renewed surge in tech stocks, buoying investor sentiment and propelling major indices higher. Conversely, disappointing figures could trigger a sell-off, leading to increased volatility and uncertainty in the market. Conclusion: As Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) gears up to unveil its earnings report, anticipation is at a fever pitch. With a track record of innovation, strong fundamentals, and technical potential, the stage is set for a potentially decisive moment in the company's trajectory. Whether Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) can meet or exceed expectations remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the market will be watching closely as the tech giant takes center stage.Shortby DEXWireNews5

Microsoft (MSFT): A Potential Plunge After a Decade's RiseOn the Microsoft three-day chart NASDAQ:MSFT , we've observed that the initial cycle of Wave (5) & I peaked at $430, hitting the 61.8% extension level, and has since declined to $402. We believe that $430 will now act as a strong resistance level. We anticipate a significant correction for Microsoft, potentially dropping to between $220 and $100. This forecast is based on the end of the first bullish cycle, following a decade of substantial increases in Microsoft's stock price. Such a correction is seen as necessary for sustainable long-term growth The exact nature of the correction, whether it adopts a Flat or Zigzag pattern, remains to be determined. Flats are more common than Zigzags, hence they are considered more likely, but we are keeping an open mind as we monitor the chart's developments. We will hold off on positioning ourselves immediately, opting instead to watch how the situation unfolds on the broader chart before identifying potential smaller-scale entry points.by freeguy_by_wmc3

Microsoft's Earnings: A Prudent Approach for InvestorsInvestors often face a dilemma when considering whether to buy a stock just before its earnings announcement or wait it out. This decision can have significant implications for their portfolios. Currently, software giant Microsoft presents investors with precisely this dilemma, as it prepares to unveil its fiscal third-quarter numbers after Thursday's closing bell. While the company has shown impressive performance in recent times, concerns have arisen due to a recent decline in its stock. This prompts the question: should investors anticipate disappointing Q3 results, or could this be an overreaction with potential bullish catalysts in the earnings report? While predicting the future remains elusive, refraining from purchasing Microsoft stock ahead of Thursday's report appears prudent from a risk-management perspective. Here's why: Firstly, short-term fluctuations, including those triggered by earnings reports, often pale in comparison to long-term trends. Regardless of Friday's outcome, the impact on Microsoft's trajectory over the next five years is likely to be minimal. Thus, optimizing trade entries based on short-term movements may not align with a long-term investment horizon. Moreover, recent history serves as a reminder. Despite exceeding expectations in the last quarter, Microsoft experienced a slight decline post-earnings due to disappointing guidance. While past events may not perfectly predict future outcomes, they can offer insights into market behavior. Another factor to consider is the current market sentiment. The intensified selling of Microsoft shares suggests investor caution ahead of the earnings release. Whether due to perceived overvaluation or broader market weakness, this reluctance to hold the stock warrants attention. However, exercising caution does not guarantee a decline post-earnings. Microsoft's fundamental strengths, including its dominance in the personal computer ecosystem and significant strides in cloud computing and artificial intelligence, position it for long-term growth. Analysts anticipate robust revenue and earnings growth in the foreseeable future. For those hesitant to act, patience may be a virtue. While delaying may not yield substantial benefits, it aligns with a focus on the bigger picture. Microsoft's enduring value transcends quarterly fluctuations, making it a compelling long-term investment. Ultimately, the decision to buy or wait hinges on individual risk tolerance and investment goals. While uncertainty looms over Thursday's earnings, Microsoft's solid fundamentals suggest that any short-term volatility presents buying opportunities for those with a long-term perspective.

Microsoft Could Be OversoldMicrosoft rallied after its last earnings report. Now it may be giving traders another chance with the next set of numbers due Thursday afternoon. The first pattern on today’s chart is $397.21. That was the low on January 31, immediately after the software giant beat earnings and revenue estimates. Prices had run into the report, and they fell on profit taking. But support from that session was retested in mid-February and seemed to remain valid yesterday. Is MSFT giving buyers another opportunity? Second, the software giant has tested its rising 100-day simple moving average. That may suggest that its longer-term uptrend is intact.

MSFT’s Momentum Weakening: Where’re the defending levels? Trend - On the weekly chart: Still within the large uptrend channel since January 2023. - On the daily chart: The minor uptrend channel since October 2023 was broken with moderate volume. - Although the long-term uptrend remains intact, the short-term momentum may be pausing. 100% Symmetrical Projection: Uptrend “N” Patterns - There are two price projection models, both leading to the same ultimate target price of $457. The large purple N, starting from January 2023. The small orange N, starting from October 2023. - Symmetry break : If the price drops below the prior low at $400, the symmetry (the pullback) is violated. Following that, with increased uncertainties, anticipating the price action will become challenging. - If the momentum is strong, we could expect a clear price movement toward the target price once it surpasses the symmetrical retracement box at $421. However, the price is currently hovering around $421, indicating weakening momentum. N Pattern’s Target Price & Fibonacci Price Cluster - Both N patterns are an A+ setup . Retrace 0.382 of the prior swing and then continue to rise. - The level of 1.618 Fibonacci projection of the prior swing is the N’s target price. - The level of 2.618 Fibonacci extension of the retracement is the N’s target price. - The price treats the key Fibonacci levels as significant support and resistance levels along the way up. Conclusion - Currently, the momentum is weakening, though not yet exhausted. - Once the price breaks below $400, the short-term momentum will be exhausted, potentially leading to a trend reversal. - In the long term, for MSFT to sustain the uptrend, the price should remain within the large uptrend channel and above the price level of $367. **Not Financial Advice** The information contained in this article is not intended as, and should not be understood as financial advice.

Microsoft invests $1.5bn in UAE's AI leader amid strategic pivotMicrosoft Corp. has announced a substantial 1.5 billion USD investment in G42, the United Arab Emirates' foremost artificial intelligence firm. Following G42's agreement to cease cooperating with China and align itself with US interests, this move aims to bolster G42's utilisation of Microsoft's Azure cloud platform for its AI applications, significantly enhancing Microsoft's footprint in the AI and security sectors. This strategic investment aligns with the US policies aimed at curtailing China's access to advanced technologies. It underscores a broader trend of public-private partnerships promoting US corporate investments in foreign AI enterprises. Turning our attention to Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) for stock trading insights: On the Daily (D1) timeframe, Microsoft's stock has set a support level at 412.80 USD and resistance at 430.80 USD. Recently, the stock broke its uptrend line, suggesting that it might now be moving within a channel defined by these support and resistance markers. A support level breach could see the stock decline towards 398.10 USD. Investors might find it appealing to initiate a buy if the stock breaks through the resistance at 430.80 USD, with a short-term target of 448.00 USD. For those looking at a medium-term investment horizon, holding a long position with a target of 470.00 USD could be considered once the resistance level is surpassed. — Ideas and other content presented on this page should not be considered as guidance for trading or an investment advice.

Microsoft-Backed Rubrik Eyes $713 Mln IPOIn a move signaling robust confidence in the cybersecurity sector, Rubrik, a Palo Alto-based firm backed by Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ), is set to embark on an initial public offering (IPO), aiming to raise up to $713 million, according to sources familiar with the matter. The cybersecurity software company is planning to offer 23 million shares priced between $28 and $31 each, potentially valuing Rubrik at approximately $5.4 billion at the upper end of the range. This IPO initiative underscores Rubrik's strategic positioning amidst a burgeoning demand for cloud-based ransomware protection and data-backup solutions. Rubrik's planned IPO arrives against the backdrop of a revitalized U.S. IPO market, signaling a resurgence in investor appetite following a period of subdued activity. Notable successful listings, including those of Reddit and Astera Labs, have set the stage for a wave of upcoming public offerings, with companies like Cato Networks and Synechron poised to join the fray. Founded in 2014 by venture capitalist Bipul Sinha, Rubrik has established itself as a leader in the cybersecurity space, serving over 5,000 business clients, including industry giants like Nvidia Corp and Home Depot. The company's robust growth trajectory is evidenced by a 47% increase in subscription annual recurring revenue compared to the previous year. However, amid its IPO preparations, Rubrik finds itself entangled in a U.S. fraud investigation related to a former employee. The U.S. Department of Justice is probing allegations that the ex-employee diverted funds from 110 contracts with Rubrik into a personal operating entity, a development that adds a layer of complexity to Rubrik's IPO journey. Despite the regulatory scrutiny, Rubrik's IPO aspirations underscore the market's bullish outlook on cybersecurity solutions. With the backing of industry stalwarts like Microsoft and a track record of delivering cutting-edge cloud-based security services, Rubrik's public debut promises to be a significant event in the cybersecurity landscape. As Rubrik charts its course toward the public markets, investors will be keenly watching how the company navigates the IPO process amidst regulatory challenges and capitalizes on the growing demand for cybersecurity solutions in an increasingly digitized world.Longby DEXWireNews2
Microsoft to launch AI tools: MSFT stock trading idea 12/04/24Microsoft is poised to enhance its artificial intelligence capabilities with new features that are scheduled for introduction at the upcoming annual Build conference. In January, CEO Satya Nadella emphasised that 2024 would mark a pivotal year for AI integration across every PC. The agenda for the May conference aligns with this vision, showcasing Microsoft's commitment to expanding AI tools for both personal computers and its Azure cloud service. This strategic focus is driven by the substantial revenue growth witnessed from customers utilising AI models in Azure, prompting Microsoft to develop new AI functionalities specifically for developers. Now, let's transition to the technical analysis of Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) to identify potential trading opportunities. On the Daily (D1) timeframe, the stock has established a support level at 412.80 USD, with resistance noted at 430.80 USD.

Conversely, a break below the support level could lead the stock to retreat to 397.50 USD. For traders, initiating purchases with a short-term target of 448.00 USD appears promising. For those considering a medium-term investment strategy, holding a long position to reach 470.00 USD could prove beneficial. — Ideas and other content presented on this page should not be considered as guidance for trading or an investment advice.
