Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is one of the best WallStreetBets stocks to buy according to analysts. Stefan Slowinski, an analyst at BNP Paribas, commented on February 27 that OpenAI’s recent funding round, which values the company at $840 billion, is a positive for partners like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT). Famous investor Michael Burry is a vocal critic of OpenAI and has raised questions about the company’s ability to fund its progress. This development will ease investor concerns, especially as MSFT has a 27% equity stake in Sam Altman’s firm.
Elsewhere, analysts remain bullish on the stock. Tyler Radke from Citi reaffirmed a Buy rating with a price target of $635 on Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) on February 20. The analyst explained that the major reasons behind its rating were the continued strength in the Azure cloud business and strong momentum in Copilot.
The analyst made these comments after meeting with Microsoft’s investor relations team. He commented:
The meetings offered positive takeaways, with management addressing several investor concerns around competitive dynamics (Claude/CoWork), MSFT positioning post-OpenAI, capacity allocation, and capex trajectory.
Radke is convinced that copilot adoption is improving and has now become a major growth driver in Microsoft 365 Commercial. Azure’s growth is still limited by capacity constraints. He projects Azure margins to remain stable over the long-term.
