Microsoft’s stock is getting attention again because many experts on Wall Street think it will be worth more. Recently, the company’s shares have gone up a lot because more people want to use its cloud services and artificial intelligence products.
Wells Fargo raised its idea of how much Microsoft stock is worth from $700 to $725, and they still think it’s a good buy. Other experts also think Microsoft is doing well—they increased their guesses for the stock’s value too. Piper Sandler changed theirs from $550 to $610, Stifel from $550 to $575, and Oppenheimer from $515 to $570.
This shows many experts believe Microsoft is strong in cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Microsoft’s stock had a tough time in the first half of 2026. It dropped from about $542 in October 2025 to around $353 in June 2026. But things got better after Microsoft announced its results in July. The stock jumped up and kept going higher in the third quarter, rising about 38%, which was a very good period for Microsoft. A big reason for the stock’s recovery is Microsoft’s cloud business, especially Azure.
In the latest quarter, revenue from Azure and other cloud services went up by 43% compared to last year. Microsoft also said that its Azure yearly revenue has gone over $100 billion. Its artificial intelligence tools, like Microsoft 365 Copilot, are also getting more popular, with over 30 million paid users. However, Microsoft’s stock still faces some challenges. It has trouble moving past the $515-$520 level because it has tested this price several times without going higher.
If the stock can stay above this level, it might get closer to its highest price in the past year. But if it falls back, it could go down to lower support levels. Microsoft is spending a lot of money on building data centers and other tools for its cloud and AI services.
This high spending makes some people wonder how quickly Microsoft will make back that money. Because of all these expenses, the company’s free cash flow—money left after expenses—has been affected. Investors are watching closely to see if the growth in Azure and AI can help Microsoft justify its big investments. Next, Microsoft’s earnings report will show how well the company is doing.
