Microsoft faces longest selloff since 2011 on AI spending worries

Microsoft shares are headed for their longest losing streak since 2011, falling for eight consecutive sessions as of November 7.

The stock has dropped 8.6% during this period, wiping out nearly US$350 billion in market value.

The decline followed its late October earnings report, which showed strong Azure cloud growth but revealed US$34.9 billion in quarterly capital spending, with more spending expected.

Investors have grown cautious about the rising costs of building AI infrastructure, triggering a broader selloff in major tech stocks.

The Nasdaq 100 Index and Bloomberg Magnificent 7 Total Return Index are both down around 4% this week, their steepest drops since April.

Apple shares, meanwhile, rose up to 0.9% on November 7, bucking the tech decline.
