Microsoft (MSFT) is predicted to be a top investment target in 2026, with Wall Street analysts expecting its stock price to rise by as much as 30%, primarily due to its underestimated growth in artificial intelligence business. Microsoft's success is attributed to its edge AI and Azure cloud platform, with Azure's latest quarterly revenue increasing approximately 40% year-over-year. Analysts from Wedbush, Bernstein, Evercore ISI, and Piper Sandler have set Microsoft's target stock price between $640 and $650, citing that Azure is transitioning toward widespread enterprise deployment and that the systemic risk in the AI sector is limited.
