On November 4, 2025, Microsoft announced an AI licensing deal with People Inc., making it a launch partner in Microsoft's publisher content marketplace for Copilot[1]. This agreement highlights Microsoft's ongoing investment in AI content partnerships but does not represent a major shift in business direction. Microsoft shares closed at $514.33, down 0.52% for the day, with after-hours trading at $514.45. The decline aligns with a broader selloff in technology stocks, as the sector weighed heavily on major indices and overshadowed company-specific developments[4]. No major earnings, guidance changes, or regulatory actions were reported for Microsoft on this date.
