After Apple, Microsoft Shares Surge To All-Time High
And now, Apple's rival Microsoft has seen its shares hit a record high by jumping 3.2%, and its market cap too hit an all-time high of nearly $2.6 trillion yesterday.
The latest jump in Microsoft¡¯s shares came after Microsoft finance chief Amy Hood, in a public discussion with Microsoft technology chief Kevin Scott, said that "the next generation AI business will be the fastest-growing $10 billion business in our history", as per a CNBC report.
"There is all of the people who want to come use our infrastructure, whether they¡¯re training their own models, whether they are running an open-source model they¡¯ve got or whether they are making API calls into one of the big frontier models that we¡¯ve built with OpenAI," Scott said.
But is the surge in stock prices restricted to Apple or Microsoft? Certainly not. Many other tech companies have seen their stocks go deeper and deeper into the green this year.
