Microsoft (MSFT) shares fell 3.21% to a 42-week low of $384.47 following significant service outages and concerns over new global tariffs. Despite the recent 18.21% monthly decline, analysts remain optimistic about the company's long-term valuation.
- The downturn was triggered by widespread Azure and Microsoft 365 service disruptions and investor anxiety surrounding a newly announced 15% global flat tariff.
- Analyst Gabriela Borges maintained a Buy rating with a $600 price target, even as the stock faces a broader market retreat from mega-cap technology assets.
