Alphabet Has Won, Amazon Will Win, Microsoft Pays The Price (For Now)
AMZN, GOOG, GOOGL, MSFT
Published: December 16, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

Microsoft Corporation's AI growth is real, but MSFT stock is stalling as investors reprice returns, not demand.

With OpenAI economics evolving and Gemini intensifying suite-level competition, Microsoft remains a great business—but at current multiples, MSFT stock is fairly valued and awaits proof of AI-driven returns.
