  • Microsoft stock faces Musk's $134 billion claim ahead of Jan. 28 earnings
    January 17, 2026, 12:48 PM EST. Microsoft (MSFT) shares closed Friday at $459.86, up 0.7% but down about 3.6% for the week as Elon Musk pursues as much as $134 billion in a lawsuit alleging wrongful gains by OpenAI and Microsoft. Musk told a federal court OpenAI revenue was pegged at $65.5-$109.4 billion and Microsoft at $13.3-$25.1 billion; a jury trial is set for April. Markets will be closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, delaying the next session to Tuesday. The broader backdrop remains macro jitters that have weighed on megacap tech on rate and policy moves. Probes into Activision Blizzard's sales tactics were announced, and Wikimedia said it will compensate firms using Wikipedia to train AI. Microsoft also struck a carbon-credit deal with Indigo Carbon, estimated at $171-$228 million.
