Microsoft (MSFT) shares are trading lower in pre-market, driven by broader market weakness and sector rotation following a sharp decline in the Nasdaq, rather than any specific company news.

  • MSFT is trading at $409.50, reflecting a decline of 1.13% in pre-market trading.
  • The general tech sell-off was exacerbated by AI earnings worries and an event involving Anthropic's tool, which triggered a $285B loss in software market value on February 4.
