Jim Cramer Explains What Microsoft Needs to Do to “Reverse Its Fortunes”

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) was among the stocks on Jim Cramer’s Mad Money radar as he taught investors how to profit from the upcoming wave of takeovers. Cramer highlighted the company stock’s decline during the second quarter, as he stated:

We need to go over what the heck happened to these losing stocks in the month of June, then we’ll review all the winners for the quarter. Some of these Mag Seven declines, they are just hideous. The stock of Microsoft, for example, shed over 17% of its value this month, losing over a half a trillion dollars in market cap. Even though it has a decent cloud business, that’s not enough to make up for its core software exposure. Wall Street has no use for the software right now. Put aside this false narrative. Software’s a real good business.

If Microsoft wants to reverse its fortunes, it needs to do something bold like acquiring OpenAI if that company can’t come public because of its severe losses. Microsoft has a stake in the company. It can make the trade happen. That would allow it to scrap Copilot and replace it with uber popular ChatGPT. Or it can break itself up into extremely lucrative parts. Yes, Azure, the cloud computing business, Microsoft business-to-business software, Microsoft’s consumer software, Microsoft cybersecurity, video games, LinkedIn, all best in field. Listen, after a 17% loss in a month, these guys would be crazy to keep doing what they’ve been doing.
