9. Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 317

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), the tech giant, was identified as a must-own stock despite recent declines, due to its strong earnings and strategic AI leadership. Here’s what Jim Cramer said at the time:

“This thing is just getting killed! It had fallen the level below where it was trading before that amazing quarter. I think there’s nothing better than owning Microsoft right now, and you gotta check that box as my charitable trust has.

The company’s shares have risen 8.64% over the past months, not entirely validating Cramer’s bullish outlook.

The Mad Money host recently highlighted Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)’s importance and said the following:

“After the close, alright, here we go, Meta Platforms and Microsoft, both important, and the Street’s really split on these two… Microsoft’s disappointed investors three straight times, three quarters in a row, mostly by issuing soft outlooks after delivering solid results. Now I think we need to see this Copilot gain some serious traction while data center spending stays strong, but not too strong. We don’t want them to spend even more than they thought, and Azure, its cloud business, gets back into an accelerated group. That might be a tall order, but I think this company knows the penalty will be severe to its price to earnings multiple, the PE multiple, if it misses a year’s worth of earnings reports.”
