NASDAQ:MSFT 23 December 2025 - 28 December 2025

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%.

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.
