Shares of MSFT.O declined sharply today, hitting a 20-day low as investor sentiment soured over potential overinvestment in artificial intelligence. This technical breakdown signals increased bearish momentum, reflecting broader market anxieties regarding AI valuations. Contributing to the stock's decline, Alphabet's CEO raised alarms about the sustainability of AI investments, prompting a reevaluation of tech stocks heavily tied to this sector. As investors grapple with these developments, Microsoft faces scrutiny not only from market dynamics but also from ongoing regulatory investigations into its cloud services.
