Microsoft shares hit record high as market cap exceeds $4 trillion
Microsoft shares reached a new record high on October 13, 2026, climbing to approximately $543.45. This milestone marks the company's first record in about a year and follows a massive rally where the stock gained over 54% from its June low.
This surge has added roughly $1.4 trillion to Microsoft's market capitalization, pushing it back above the $4 trillion threshold. The recovery follows a difficult period in early 2026 when the company was among the S&P 500's worst performers due to concerns regarding the returns on heavy artificial intelligence infrastructure spending.
The turnaround was largely driven by strong financial results, particularly in the cloud computing sector. Azure and other cloud services reported a 43% year-over-year revenue increase. Investor confidence has been bolstered by the growing popularity of Copilot and the company's strategic position in the AI market. Currently, the majority of analysts covering the stock maintain buy ratings.
