Half a trillion dollars in a single trading session. That is the scale of value Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) created on July 30, when its shares rocketed 15.51% higher, its strongest one-day performance in nearly two decades.
The move added roughly $450 billion to Microsoft’s market capitalization, the largest one-day gain ever recorded by a United States company. Now, this has lifted the software giant’s valuation to approximately $3.45 trillion.
