Stifel analyst Brad Reback maintains a 'Hold' rating on Microsoft with a $415 price target, reflecting a cautious view despite recent stock drops. The firm highlights risks and delays in Microsoft's 20-year energy project with Chevron, Project Kilby, which is still in pre-construction and awaiting key approvals expected by late 2026.
