MSFT $480.35 +22.0% 30d

Editorial Note: MSFT at $370.75 RSI 38 has stalled — flat on the week (+0.1% 7D) while the broad market rallied. The death cross is deepening, -21.5% vs SMA200 is the widest gap in this tracking period. The bounce from RSI 26 to 40 has stalled at RSI 38-39 for two consecutive weeks. The enterprise budget freeze thesis hasn't changed; what's changed is that AMZN (AWS) is surging +10% 7D while MSFT (Azure) is stuck. The market is telling you it prefers cloud infrastructure execution over cloud platform breadth. At $370 and 26x forward earnings, MSFT is cheap historically — but cheap can get cheaper when -21.5% vs SMA200 with no catalyst to reclaim it.
