Microsoft (MSFT) Stock Analysis: AI Score & Alternative Data
MSFT alt-data: revenue climbing, job postings lagging
Is Microsoft a buy right now? The alternative data says hold. This MSFT stock analysis is built on the 25+ alternative data signals AltIndex tracks on Microsoft every day — hiring, web traffic, sentiment, social reach — rolled into an AI Score of 50/100: a Hold. The stock trades at $387.76 with a $2.85T market cap.
The bullish side of the 90-day ledger: revenue up 18.3% YoY to $82.9B, and 71% of employees are positive on the business outlook. The drag: job postings down 37.8% to 1K open roles, web traffic down 7.0% to 1.1B monthly visits, and app downloads down 99.8% to 241K downloads. That tension is what keeps the score mid-range.
MSFT’s broader alt-data profile also covers headcount (234K employees, according to LinkedIn), Facebook followers (13.3M), Reddit mentions (261 a day), and sentiment (60/100). Every signal links to its own page with full history, the MSFT technical analysis covers RSI, moving averages, and support and resistance, and the full table of everything AltIndex tracks on MSFT is just below.
