Microsoft (MSFT) reiterated its leadership in artificial intelligence with the introduction of a brand-new “Mu” small language model, an accelerated local model to run on Neural Processing Units (NPUs) on Copilot+ PCs. Introduced as part of a broader edge AI capability initiative, the solution seems to provide low-latency AI features. Wall Street is paying attention, with the stock moving to new all-time highs on June 25 as the software giant continues to convert AI innovation into tangible business victories.

In context, the Mu model isn’t another AI product launch but a sign of the accelerating hardware-software collaboration within custom silicon, Windows, and Azure ecosystems. With good tailwinds from Office 365 and cloud services, Microsoft has become the de facto AI platform company.

Microsoft (MSFT) is a technology leader, headquartered in Redmond, Washington, which sells software, cloud computing, enterprise services, and AI infrastructure. With a market capitalization of more than $3.6 trillion, institutional investors continue to keep Microsoft as a cornerstone holding due to its diversified business and stable cash flow.

MSFT stock has gained nearly 9% over the past 12 months, including a 16% rally year-to-date. Shares recently hit an all-time high of $494.56, bolstered by AI-driven tailwinds and sustained revenue growth across its cloud and productivity segments.

The stock trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of 36.4x and price-sales ratio of 14.7x, premium multiples. But the valuation itself is a testament to investor confidence in Microsoft’s sustainable revenue model, 36% profit margins, and strategic corporate AI participation. With a return on equity of 32.7% and minimal leverage (0.13x debt-equity ratio), Microsoft remains financially robust.

For the third quarter of its fiscal 2025, Microsoft announced great results, surpassing Wall Street estimates on all fronts. Revenue came to $70.1 billion, up 13% year-over-year (15% in constant currency), and net income climbed 18% to $25.8 billion. EPS came to $3.46, up 18% as well, led by strength in Microsoft Cloud, up 20% to $42.4 billion.
