Microsoft's stock price has fallen from a high of $546 to $490, with debates over AI investment returns dividing Wall Street into two camps.

[Crypto World] Microsoft’s recent price action is quite interesting. At the end of October, it surged to a record high of $546, but soon after, it dropped to hover around $490—a 1% decline in just a month. The market’s biggest dilemma right now is all about AI: after burning so much cash, can revenue growth really keep up?

But Wall Street analysts seem pretty calm. Out of 62 analysts, 61 are still calling for a buy, with target prices thrown right into the $600–$650 range. With a 98% approval rate, that’s some serious confidence. Still, there are those pouring cold water on the situation, saying if the AI bubble really bursts, Microsoft might not see $540 again until 2027.

Basically, there are two camps in play: one believes AI investment will eventually turn into real profits, while the other worries that too much hot money has been thrown in and the payback period will get dragged out. In the short term, the stock price is just moving sideways at this level—the market is waiting for a clearer signal. Is AI a money-printing machine, or just a cash-burning black hole?
