Jim Cramer on Microsoft: “Terrific Cloud Business, But It’s Weighed Down By Enterprise Software”

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) was among the stocks Jim Cramer discussed on Mad Money, highlighting several companies with market caps over a trillion dollars. Cramer highlighted why his Charitable Trust owns the stock, as he said:

Now, here’s a tough one, Mr. Softee, Microsoft. It has a terrific cloud business, but it’s weighed down by enterprise software, and Wall Street disdains its AI product, Copilot. So then why does my Charitable Trust still own it? Did I go to college to get stupid? Hardly. Because we simply cannot believe that Microsoft won’t fix things. It has so much money, it has so many smart people, I have to believe they can figure it out. If they can’t, then the stock will have to go.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) develops software, hardware, and cloud-based solutions. The company provides products like Windows, Azure, Office, LinkedIn, and Xbox. Cramer discussed the stock during the May 5 episode, as he remarked:

It’s hard to see that because the other publicly traded companies in the data center race, Microsoft and Meta, seem at this point to be, well, losers or at least their stocks… Microsoft appears stuck with old software that has fallen out of favor with the market. And Meta doesn’t have a cloud business to help offset the losses from the myriad AI initiatives away from Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Really smart Ray-Bans, I love them, I love them, don’t get me wrong, aren’t going to bring the profits, a cloud business would for the quizzical Meta. Even as sales from traditional businesses were spectacular this quarter, nobody cared.
