\u00a9 Reuters. Microsoft (MSFT) has no more Sell ratings as Guggenheim upgrades, admits being ‘dead wrong’<\/span>
\n<\/i>\n<\/div>\n

Guggenheim analysts upgraded Microsoft (NASDAQ:) shares to Neutral from Sell. Therefore, there are no more sell-side analysts that rate Microsoft with a Sell or equivalent rating.<\/p>\n

Analysts admit they were \u201cdead wrong\u201d to recommend Microsoft as Sell. Their prior price target was $232 per share, signaling a downside risk of over 35%.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Generative AI narrative is too positive a force to contend with, even though the troubling dynamics we thought might develop, did,\u201d they said in a client note.<\/p>\n

These \u201ctroubling dynamics\u201d include Windows and the broader PC market facing challenges as it became clear that the surge in demand during the COVID-19 pandemic was not sustainable, the analysts wrote.<\/p>\n

Moreover, PC shipments were initially boosted by remote work and learning trends, similar to the rise of platforms like Zoom (NASDAQ:) and DocuSign (NASDAQ:). However, the sustained relevance of PCs has come into question. Microsoft’s cloud platform, Azure, has encountered difficulties attributed to several factors, including market maturity, macroeconomic conditions, and heightened competition from new entrants.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, The Office business has seen incremental traction, driven by factors such as price increases implemented a year ago and the renewal of agreements made three years ago, which involved lower discount levels and thus resulted in higher prices.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd like every other person on the planet, we\u2019ve come to expect that the GenAI \u201cnarrative\u201d will become more than just a story, though we still question how much monetization will be realized and over what timeframe,\u201d analysts further noted.<\/p>\n

Microsoft shares rose 0.3% today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
