Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) experienced a notable decline in its stock price, falling 6.2% on January 30, 2025, marking its worst trading day since October 2022. The drop followed the company's announcement of its Q4 2024 earnings, which revealed that while both revenue and earnings per share surpassed expectations, cloud revenue growth fell short of forecasts. Specifically, Microsoft projected revenues for the current quarter to be between $67.7 billion and $68.7 billion, below the estimated $69.78 billion. This disappointing outlook has raised concerns among investors, contributing to a market capitalization loss of approximately $240 billion over the past two days, with a total decline of around $200 billion since the earnings report.
