Microsoft loses $357 billion of market cap in one day after disappointing quarterly earnings report

This is nothing, the market fluctuances all the time. In 3 months, MSFT stock will bounce back, and people will not post anything positive about MS.

Exactly.

It has indeed shown very solid results, exceeding expectations (50% more profits compared to the previous year, for example). The drop is related to the doubts being generated by the delay in recouping the investment in AI. Whoever is saying that the drop in share value is related to Xbox... well, it's NeoGAF, it's to be expected 🤷.

As you say, if it recovers the lost share value in a few months or a Cross this year... surely no one will say anything.

Windows sucks now. Korea just announced they're training everyone in the country to use Linux. EU healthcare already treats it as problematic. There's about to be a giant marketplace full of proven tools that facilitate orgs moving off of Windows. The public sentiment couldn't be worse. And the one last thing Microsoft had that wasn't the business equivalent of a hostage situation, OpenAI stake, is falling behind Google and likely DeepSeek. Apple already left to go the Gemini route. MS announced that OpenAI made up over 40% of their booked computing schedule right before this drop.

The fall of Microsoft is going to move very slowly until it isn't. There's going to be a critical mass intersection of no-faith and finally the options to do something about it. It's an environment that Microsoft hasn't had to operate in for a very long time, and I don't think they have to staff to do it anymore.

It would be absolutely hilarious if IBM outlasts Microslop.

They should lay off another 15k people like they've been every year the last 2 years. This time should do it.

When was the last time Microsoft actually built a good product? Gaming is being scapegoated here, but this company has been treading water for a long time, The only reason their valuation went up is because their heavy investment in AI - and they're not even leaders there. Google got caught holding their dicks, quickly launched the bullshit that was "Bard", and somehow still ended up ahead of Microsoft.

Apple is in the exact same situation.

And Musk just announced they're ending production on Model S and Model X to converting the factory in Fremont to make robots. Robots....Tesla is now going to make Cybertrucks, that no one's buying, and $30k robots that no one's going to buy because who the fuck wants to buy a $30k robot? Fucking are borderline useless half the time.

Giving away your 1st Party Exclusive Games to the Competition and therefore making owning an XBox Console irrelevant wasn't the smartest Desition from Microsoft ;)
