MSFT is trading at $400.62 (-3.28%) today, pressured by a broad market sell-off and a recent analyst downgrade to Hold.
- The decline aligns with a 1.86% drop in the NASDAQ, fueled by recession fears following weak jobless claims (231,000) and a tech sector rotation after Anthropic's AI tool release.
- While a new analyst target of $392 adds immediate pressure, the broader consensus remains a Strong Buy with targets of $593+, as many view the dip as a necessary reset amid AI capex concerns.
