Microsoft Stock Skyrockets: MSFT Surges Over 10% to Smash Past $390 Mark
NEW YORK – Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) delivered a stunning performance in recent trading, with its stock price rocketing higher by double digits, captivating investors and analysts across the United States.
Shares of the Redmond-based technology behemoth surged dramatically, closing at 35.93, translating to an impressive +10.13% increase, according to the latest available market data timestamped at 05:29 GMT+5:30.
The powerful rally marks a standout day for Microsoft stock, significantly outpacing broader market movements. Trading charts visualized a sharp upward trajectory, indicating intense buying interest that propelled MSFT well above its previous closing price of $354.56.
This remarkable one-day jump provides a stark contrast to the stock’s performance over longer periods. While MSFT showed positive momentum over the last five days (+4.19%), the 10.13% surge eclipses its year-to-date figure, which stood at -8.23%, and its one-year performance at -8.43% prior to this major move.
Such a substantial increase for a mega-cap stock like Microsoft typically signals a strong reaction to significant news or market catalysts. Investors are clearly responding with vigor, pushing the company’s market capitalization significantly higher and making MSFT a major focus on Wall Street. The move firmly places Microsoft’s stock near the $391.70 level seen at its recent peak during the observed period.
