Microsoft (MSFT) Stock: Analysts Grow Bullish Amid Strategic Shifts
Citi analysts have elevated Microsoft’s price target to $540 from $480, reinforcing their Buy rating. The revision follows the tech giant’s workforce optimization strategy—a 3% reduction expected to yield over $1 billion in savings—and robust fiscal Q3 2025 performance.
Microsoft’s partnership recalibration with OpenAI, potentially trading equity for expanded technology access, underscores its strategic agility. Despite macroeconomic headwinds, shares surged 18.9% in the past month, fueled by Azure’s growth trajectory and disciplined capital expenditure.
