Pershing Backs Microsoft As Core Holding While AI And UK Probe Evolve
Summary
Pershing Square has made Microsoft a core holding, highlighting large investors' renewed conviction in the company amid mixed recent price performance. The UK Competition and Markets Authority opened a formal antitrust probe into Microsoft's software and cloud practices, adding regulatory risk to the picture. Microsoft is also reshaping its AI strategy by capping revenue sharing with OpenAI and pursuing acquisitions of AI startups to strengthen its position. Investors should monitor the CMA investigation, the terms of the OpenAI revenue cap, any AI startup deals, and recent insider selling for signs of how these dynamics could affect Microsoft's bargaining power and margins.
