The stock price of Microsoft is attracting renewed investor interest as AI-driven products boost quarterly forecasts. Trading volume exceeded its 30-day average by 12%, indicating heightened market participation. Options data reveal increased call buying near the $420 strike. It also gives Nvidia a buffer and offloads risk. Nvidia gets to reap the benefits of supplying the AI data center build-out without directly spending its own money to build capacity and drive demand. It lets CoreWeave do so instead. That means it's CoreWeave that is spending enormous amounts of its cash -- and the cash it has borrowed -- to build capacity. Although Microsoft stock has experienced a strong year, appreciating by 24% and surpassing the NASDAQ’s 18% gain, the crucial question now is: Is there still room for Microsoft stock to grow? The stock price of Microsoft is closely correlated with sector ETF QQQ, which showed positive inflows this week. Market strategists expect sustained performance thanks to Microsoft’s diversified service mix and rising AI integration metrics.
