Microsoft Corporation has seen its market capitalization fall by $1.3 trillion, marking the largest drop in its history despite a generally bullish market. The stock now trades at a forward earnings multiple of 21.7, close to its 2022 buy levels, suggesting a potentially attractive valuation. Investor concerns focus on Microsoft's elevated capital expenditure guidance of $190 billion for fiscal year 2026 and its heavy reliance on OpenAI, which represents 45% of its commercial revenue backlog. Market sentiment has shifted due to AI disruption in software and a decline in OpenAI's reputation, increasing scrutiny on Microsoft's AI strategy going forward.
