Should You Buy Microsoft Stock Now That It's Back Within 6% of Its Record?
After a 46% rise from its June low, is the software giant still a buy?
Overview
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) spent the first half of 2026 moving the wrong way. From a record close of $542.07 on Oct. 28, 2025, the stock fell to $352.83 by June 25 -- a drop of about 35%.
The recovery has been just as sharp. At roughly $516 as I write, including a gain of over 3% on Friday, shares have risen about 46% from the late-June low. They are now only about 5% off the record.
Details
But most of the rebound happened in one week. The stock leaped around 26% in the four trading days after Microsoft's fiscal fourth-quarter report on July 29. It has mainly traded between about $480 and $515 since.
