Satya Nadella grows with Microsoft
Microsoft’s stock, which was $36.35 on February 4, 2014, the first day Nadella took over, is up more than 900 percent, hitting an all-time high of $364.02 this week. The $13 billion investment in OpenAI has allowed Microsoft’s shares to rise 50 percent this year.
Microsoft’s share price rose once again on Tuesday when it announced a new $30 per month extra option to use artificial intelligence tools called Microsoft 365 Copilot with Office software. After this announcement, Microsoft’s market value increased by $ 154 billion in one day. This figure is equal to the entire net worth of Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon. On the other hand, with its investment in OpenAI, Morgan Stanley believes Microsoft is moving towards a $3 trillion valuation.
