Intel’s stock remains strong today despite a report from The Information indicating that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) is developing an "EMIB-like" advanced packaging technology, potentially challenging a key advantage for Intel’s Foundry business. However, the prospect of TSMC neutralizing this advantage hasn’t dented Intel’s share price, as the broader tech market is buoyed by massive AI spending commitments from companies like Microsoft and Meta. Here is why Intel’s stock is h

Stocks kicked off Thursday’s trading session higher, reemerging from the carnage of Wednesday’s selloff. The S&P 500 was up 0.9%, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 1.6%. Rosenberg Research’s Dave Rosenberg described the moves as “a weak stock-market bound on shaky ground,” nodding to the major averages’ “precarious technical positions,” yesterday’s rise in bond yields, and oil price spikes.

U.S. equity futures were little changed on Wednesday as investors digested Microsoft, Meta and Qualcomm earnings and the Federal Reserve’s decision.

While the top- and bottom-line numbers for Microsoft (MSFT) give a sense of how the business performed in the quarter ended June 2026, it could be worth looking at how some of its key metrics compare to Wall Street estimates and year-ago values.

Microsoft reported that revenue from its Azure cloud business surpassed $100 billion for the first time in fiscal year 2026, which ended in June. The disclosure was notable because Microsoft historically doesn’t break out revenue for that business, making it difficult to compare it with rivals Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud.

Microsoft cloud unit grew at the fastest pace in four years, suggesting that the company's computing infrastructure and artificial intelligence services continue to make inroads with businesses. Azure cloud-computing revenue increased 43% during the fiscal fourth quarter, the company said Wednesday in a statement. That was the fastest quarterly growth since early 2022, and topped analysts' average growth estimate of about 40%. Azure sales topped $100 billion for the first time during the fiscal year ended in June.  Bloomberg Tech Host Ed Ludlow reacts to earnings

Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) reports fiscal fourth-quarter results tonight, with analysts largely centering their attention on capital expenditures as the company continues its aggressive buildout of AI infrastructure. Bank of America analysts said "AI execution remains the central debate"...

Traders are expecting big swings from tech earnings on Wednesday, with options pricing in major after-market risks and short sellers lining up to bet against one of the market’s biggest stocks. Microsoft shares, which have fallen more than 15% from their early June peak and remain nearly 25% lower over the past year, are likely to move more than 6.6% in either direction after tonight’s June-quarter earnings, well ahead of its three-year average of around 4.8%. Short sellers, meanwhile, are crowding into the stock, with bets against the tech and cloud giant representing around 92 million shares, or 1.27% of its outstanding float, according to data from S3 Partners.

Options imply a 6.6% move after earnings.
