Microsoft Slips to Fifth in Trading Volume as Stock Price Drops 2.34% Amid Market Volatility

On April 10, 2025, Microsoft (MSFT) experienced a significant decline, with its trading volume reaching $14.203 billion, marking a 25.35% decrease from the previous day. This placed Microsoft in the fifth position in terms of trading volume for the day. The stock price of Microsoft dropped by 2.34%.

Microsoft has recently faced a reduction in its price target and an outperform rating, with analysts eyeing a stock price of $475. This adjustment comes amidst ongoing economic challenges and geopolitical tensions that have shrouded market projections in uncertainty. The stock has been particularly affected by recent market volatility, including a significant downturn on Wall Street and subsequent fluctuations following President Trump's 90-day tariff pause.

Despite the price target cut, Wedbush analysts maintain a favorable outlook on Microsoft, keeping an 'Outperform' rating. They attribute the reduction to broader economic challenges impacting the market. The firm's current price target for Microsoft has been lowered from $550 to $475, reflecting concerns over tariff uncertainty and rising U.S. bond yields. However, Wedbush remains long-term bullish on the stock, expecting a material near-term slowdown in tech spending but seeing long-term value in the company.
