What is Microsoft?

Microsoft develops the Windows operating system and the Office/Microsoft 365 suite, and operates Azure, one of the world's two largest cloud computing platforms alongside Amazon Web Services. The company has repositioned heavily around artificial intelligence since its partnership with OpenAI, integrating AI assistants (Copilot) into nearly all of its products.

How do I invest in Microsoft stock?

The stock can be bought directly on the Nasdaq through any online broker, or indirectly via a technology or Nasdaq 100 ETF. Microsoft has paid a regular, growing quarterly dividend for more than 20 years, making it a stock followed by both growth-oriented investors and those seeking steady income.

What are the main drivers and risks for Microsoft?

Growth in Azure cloud services and the monetization of artificial intelligence (Copilot, the OpenAI partnership) are the main drivers highlighted by investors. On the other hand, massive capital spending on AI infrastructure, competition from Amazon and Google in the cloud, and sustained regulatory scrutiny over anti-competitive practices are closely watched risks.
