Jim Cramer on Microsoft: “The Business Isn’t Growing the Way I’d Like It To”

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) was among the stocks Jim Cramer discussed on Mad Money as he addressed investors’ recent overblown worries and growth stocks stuck in bear-market territory. Cramer noted that he is hoping for the company to make big changes, as he remarked:

Of course, Microsoft, they’re behind. It’s software. It could get hurt by Anthropic and OpenAI, no doubt. Honestly, the business isn’t growing the way I’d like it to. But I can tell you that Microsoft can make big changes. Once it has the balance sheet to make big changes, it ought to make big changes. Let’s hope it does.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) develops software, hardware, and cloud-based solutions. The company provides products like Windows, Azure, Office, LinkedIn, and Xbox. Cramer mentioned the company during the April 13 episode, as he said:

Some stocks belong in the index, of course. For example, take a look at Microsoft, textbook software stock. It’s been pretty much straight down since its peak last July at $555. But it did jump 3.6% today. Did anything happen this weekend to justify today’s rally?

Nope. In fact, we got a negative piece this morning about how the private colossus OpenAI has been pushing business away from Microsoft and toward Amazon because its customers want to go there. Incredible given how close they were at one point, but it’s right that Microsoft stock’s been clobbered. They’re not looking much like an AI… winner right now. No matter, it’s enjoying its first romp in ages. Enjoy it.

While we acknowledge the risk and potential of MSFT as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than MSFT and that has 10,000% upside potential, check out our report about this cheapest AI stock.
