0725 ET - Microsoft stands to benefit from a massive adoption wave of Copilot and Azure, Wedbush analysts say in a research note. Looking ahead, the analysts expect artificial intelligence and cloud monetization to continue accelerating, boosted by continued deployments as more companies adopt new technologies. AI use cases are building this year, with adoption of the tech particularly strong across finance, government and retail, the analysts say. Next year, though, is likely to be the true inflection point for the company. "We strongly view this as Microsoft's 'shining moment' with AI set to change the cloud growth trajectory in Redmond," the analysts write. Wedbush raises Microsoft's price target to $600 from $515.
