Summary Analysis
The recent dividend hike and large share buyback program also signal management's confidence. However, regulatory risks and intense competition in the AI space are key concerns to monitor. Given Microsoft's current valuation and growth prospects, a moderate upside of 5-8% seems achievable in the next month, with a target price range of $445-$460. The stock's relative stability suggests a tight stop loss of 3-5% to manage downside risk. Investors should closely watch Azure growth rates, AI monetization progress, and any regulatory developments.
