Was This Analyst Right About Microsoft (MSFT)?

We recently published 10 AI Analyst Calls You Should Pay Attention To. Microsoft Corp is one of the stocks analysts were recently talking about.

Seth Basham, Director of Equity Research at Wedbush Securities, said in a program on CNBC back in July that Microsoft Corp was among his top AI picks.

“Microsoft Corp is one of the leaders in the AI revolution. We think that they’re so well positioned to capture share going forward because they own the enterprise. Almost all companies use Microsoft’s services. The enterprise cloud is really where it’s at and 70% of Microsoft’s clients are likely to convert to the cloud leveraging their AI. So we think Microsoft Corp is the name to own in the AI revolution.”

Microsoft Corp shares are up about 2.8% since Basham’s comments.
