NASDAQ:MSFT 23 January 2026 - 26 January 2026

U.S. equity markets showed mixed performance in recent sessions, with blue-chip stocks generally outperforming growth and tech shares. On June 22, the S&P 500 fell 0.48% and the Nasdaq dropped 1.41%, weighed down by declines in Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft, while the Dow gained 0.12%.

After-hours trading on June 22 saw little change in major index ETFs, with the Invesco QQQ Trust and SPDR S&P 500 ETF slipping slightly, while the Dow ETF edged up. Microsoft’s recent activity included a 20-year natural gas power deal with Chevron for a Texas data center, reflecting the growing importance of energy supply for AI infrastructure. Microsoft’s shares slipped despite Azure’s 40% growth. Caterpillar gained a direct role in Microsoft’s West Texas AI data-center project, benefiting from co-located power demand. SpaceX is set to join the Russell 1000 index with a strong growth allocation, and its stock has seen volatility, including a 5% drop after the Fed signaled a possible rate hike in 2026. Congressional filings revealed significant holdings in major tech companies by a lawmaker’s spouse. Microsoft shares have underperformed the broader market recently, and insider filings showed nearly $10 million in sales.
