Shares of Microsoft (MSFT 1.87%) are down almost 18% so far this year.

Shares of Microsoft (MSFT 1.87%) are down almost 18% so far this year. Wall Street has grown cautious about this cloud giant, as investors question whether its massive investments in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure will translate into faster Azure growth and near-term returns. That concern intensified after Microsoft reported capital expenditures of $37.5 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 (ending Dec. 31, 2025). Of this, around two-thirds was spent on short-lived assets such as graphics processing units (GPUs) and central processing units (CPUs). However, focusing only on Azure's near-term growth rate misses the big picture. Microsoft is increasingly monetizing AI across multiple products, including Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and its Azure AI development platforms. As AI adoption accelerates, the company may benefit from top- and bottom-line expansion. AI driving cloud growth Azure was the second-largest cloud infrastructure provider, with a worldwide market share of 21% at the end of 2025. The company's latest results also show how strongly AI demand is already supporting its cloud business. In the second quarter, Microsoft Cloud revenue grew 26% year over year to $51.5 billion. However, Azure and other cloud services, part of the Microsoft Cloud segment, saw revenue grow 39% year over year, driven by strong demand for AI and cloud workloads.

The S&P 500 has been heading downward since oil prices started soaring last week. As the war with Iran goes on, affecting oil shipments from the Middle East, it's unclear if this will clear up fast or if there will be long-term effects.

The S&P 500 has been heading downward since oil prices started soaring last week. As the war with Iran goes on, affecting oil shipments from the Middle East, it's unclear if this will clear up fast or if there will be long-term effects. While the market is dipping, many great stocks have gone on sale. Consider Carnival (CCL 3.41%)(CUK 3.59%), Apple (AAPL 1.68%), MercadoLibre (MELI 2.20%), Dutch Bros (BROS 0.21%), and On Holding (ONON 1.95%). They all have excellent prospects, but they're trading at a discount right now. 1. Carnival Carnival is the world's leading cruise operator, and although it's made a strong recovery from the pandemic, the stock is being hit hard again as oil prices rise. Oil is a major expense for cruise companies, and prices always play into their financial management and outlook. Carnival just reported record operating income, but a prolonged impasse for oil shipments could send it lower. It's understandable that the market is worried, but this is likely to be a short-term trend that could end quickly. Otherwise, Carnival has been demonstrating phenomenal performance and resilience despite continued inflation and macroeconomic volatility. Demand remains high, it's paying down its debt, and it's investing for the future. Trading at only 12 times trailing 12-month earnings, Carnival looks like a bargain. 2. Apple The market was disappointed in Apple recently due to its falling behind its mega-tech peers in artificial intelligence (AI) development. But as it demonstrates power in its ecosystem, with a 23% increase in iPhone sales year over year in its most recent quarter, investors have been recognizing its value. On top of that, the tide looks like it's turning in terms of investor sentiment about AI spending. Investors are getting worried about hyperscaler guidance for nearly $700 billion in capital expenditures this year, and it's looking like Apple's $1 billion deal to use Alphabet's Gemini large language model (LLM) instead of building it ou...

The plan was first outlined during the company's 2025 Analyst and Investor Day. The new buyback initiative is expected to commence in May 2026, pending approval from the Swiss Takeover Board and following the completion of Logitech's 2023 share buyback program.
