Microsoft (MSFT) continues to be among the big winners from the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, as its Azure cloud infrastructure unit is growing very rapidly as a result of the proliferation of AI. Based on a note recently issued by French investment bank BNP Paribas, it appears Azure's growth is well positioned to significantly accelerate in the medium to long term, providing MSFT stock with a powerful, positive catalyst.
With the tech giant also posting strong overall financial results and changing hands at an attractive valuation, I continue to recommend that investors looking for increased exposure to Big Tech consider buying Microsoft stock.
