Microsoft Edges Out Competition in AI Stock Race, Analysts Say

Analysts believe Microsoft is the leader in AI stocks, ahead of Nvidia, Meta, Amazon, and Google.

A study by Wedbush, GBK, and UPenn found Microsoft at the top for AI, though the lead is small over Meta, Amazon, and Google.

Billions will be spent on AI over the next decade, with the lead likely shifting between companies.

Morgan Stanley says Microsoft is in "pole position" for generative AI and pulling in new users.

Microsoft has buy ratings from most analysts and a potential 20% upside based on price targets.
