Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) continues to solidify its position as a frontrunner in monetizing artificial intelligence (AI), driving substantial gains for investors, explains Nigam Arora as he raises his price target on the Windows maker.
What Happened: According to a <a href="https://blog.thearorareport.com/msft-250627/">recent note</a> from the Arora Report, Microsoft, currently trading at $494.24, has seen an astounding 1403% gain since the company&#8217;s original long position on the stock at $32.88.
Microsoft&#8217;s strategic initiatives, including the integration of Copilot into Office, Dynamics, and Teams, are significantly deepening subscription revenues, explains Arora. The rollout of Copilot Plus PCs is further set to boost on-device AI capabilities, expanding the company&#8217;s reach.
Azure, Microsoft&#8217;s cloud computing arm, remains a compelling growth driver, exhibiting double-digit growth that is currently outstripping competitors and maintaining healthy margins. The recent breakout in MSFT&#8217;s stock technicals further reinforces this positive momentum.
Despite certain risks, the commentary points to a strong conviction in Microsoft&#8217;s continued upward trajectory.
The Arora Report has raised its target zone for MSFT to an ambitious $713 – $726, suggesting an expected gain of approximately 44% from current levels.
For new investors, the report advises a cautious approach, recommending limiting initial positions and planning to scale up if the stock experiences a dip.
Existing holders are encouraged to maintain their positions, capitalizing on Microsoft&#8217;s leading role in the AI revolution.

Why It Matters: However, the Arora Report&#8217;s comprehensive 360-degree analysis also highlights crucial risks.
The intensifying competition in the cloud computing space from Amazon.com Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) AWS and Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) subsidiary Google&#8217;s Cloud platform presents a notable challenge.
Furthermore, potential supply constraints on advanced chips, vital for AI infrastructure, could impede growth. The increasing scrutiny and tightened regulation of cloud platforms and AI technologies also pose regulatory hurdles that Microsoft must navigate.
Price Action: MSFT shares ended 0.30% lower at $495.94 apiece on Friday. It has risen by 18.48% on a year-to-date basis and 8.58% over the past year.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings shows that MSFT had a stronger price trend over the short, medium, and long term. Its momentum ranking was solid; however, its value ranking was poor at the 13.24th percentile.

Reported Friday, SBC Medical Group Holdings Joins Russell 3000 Index Following 2025 Indexes Reconstitution

President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;has revealed his intention to set new tariff rates unilaterally for various trading partners through letters. This decision will bypass the need for individual trade agreements.
What Happened:&nbsp;President Trump declared that the upcoming deadline for trade agreements is irrelevant, as the U.S. will assign tariff rates to numerous countries through letters. The halt on Trump&#8217;s comprehensive global tariffs is set to end in about ten days. Currently, only one deal and a temporary truce have been achieved, leaving&nbsp;the rest of the world&nbsp;in a state of uncertainty.
Trump voiced his preference for this method on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221;, saying, &#8220;We made deals, but I&#8217;d&nbsp;rather just send them a&nbsp;letter, a very fair letter,&nbsp;saying &#8216;congratulations, we&#8217;re&nbsp;going to allow you to&nbsp;trade in the United States&nbsp;of America, you&#8217;re&nbsp;going to pay a 25%&nbsp;tariff, or 20%, or 40&nbsp;or 50%&#8217;.&#8221;

Giving an example of ally nation, Japan, Trump stated that the letters would be on the lines of &#8220;Dear Mr. Japan, here&#8217;s the story. You&#8217;re going to pay a 25% tariff on your cars.&#8221;
When asked&nbsp;about extending the pause beyond the July 9 deadline, Trump&nbsp;replied, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll need to. I could, there&#8217;s no big deal.&#8221; He added that these letters would be sent out &#8220;pretty soon&#8221; and that meetings were unnecessary as &#8220;we&nbsp;understand, we have all the&nbsp;numbers.&#8221;

Why It Matters: In mid-May, Trump had already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45466150/trump-decides-to-bypass-individual-trade-dealsnew-tariff-rates-to-be-set-unilaterally-and-notified-through-letters">expressed his intention</a> to bypass individual trade deals and set new tariff rates unilaterally. He stated that it was impractical to meet with all interested countries and that the new tariffs would be communicated through letters.
Trump noted that while there were &#8220;150 countries&#8221; interested in striking deals, it was not practical to meet with all of them. His administration had already reduced many of the tariffs announced on April 2 to 10% for a 90-day period.
So far, a trade deal with the U.K. has been signed and finalized. By late June, the U.S. had finalized the framework of a trade agreement with China on rare earth and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46133537/howard-lutnick-confirms-us-china-trade-agreement-reaffirms-white-houses-progress-to-close-deals-with-10-other-trading-partners">was said to be making</a> progress towards closing deals with ten other major trading partners. However, Trump&#8217;s latest move suggests a shift away from these negotiations.
Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had announced that the EU was open to a trade deal with the U.S., but was also considering other possibilities. Trump&#8217;s decision to assign tariffs through letters could potentially impact these discussions.

Hyperbolic Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Yuchen Jin on Sunday said that OpenAI plans to release an open-source artificial intelligence model next month that reportedly outperforms existing ChatGPT options, potentially intensifying competition with Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).
What Happened: &#8220;Sorry to hype — but having a few friends at OpenAI makes it hard not to hear how wild their open-source model dropping next month is,&#8221; Jin wrote on social media platform X . &#8220;It won&#8217;t run on a phone, but let&#8217;s just say it edges out one of the models in the ChatGPT dropdown. Meta&#8217;s gonna need some time to catch up.&#8221;
Jin clarified in subsequent posts that the upcoming release represents &#8220;a reasoning model&#8221; rather than a lightweight mobile version, addressing speculation about device optimization. 
Box Inc. CEO Aaron Levie supported this approach, stating that the intelligence level should remain the primary focus over device compatibility.

The revelation comes amid escalating talent acquisition battles between major AI companies. Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth recently countered OpenAI CEO Sam Altman&#8216;s claims about $100 million signing bonuses, stating during a company meeting that &#8220;Sam is just being dishonest here&#8221; and accused Altman of creating a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46157544/meta-exec-dismisses-openais-sam-altmans-claims-of-100-million-signing-bonuses-sam-is-just-being-dishonest-here">selective market for senior leadership roles</a>.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Several OpenAI researchers, including Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov, and Xiaohua Zhai, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46132953/fake-news-former-engineer-joining-meta-refutes-sam-altmans-100m-golden-pass-accusation-to-poach-openai-talent">recently joined Meta</a>&#8216;s &#8220;superintelligence team&#8221; after establishing OpenAI&#8217;s Zurich office. However, Beyer publicly denied receiving the rumored $100 million signing bonus, calling such reports &#8220;fake news.&#8221;
The competitive dynamics reflect broader industry tensions as companies vie for AI supremacy. OpenAI&#8217;s annualized revenue run rate doubled to $10 billion in 2025, while ChatGPT reached 500 million weekly active users. Meanwhile, OpenAI and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46109371/openai-and-microsoft-reportedly-at-odds-over-access-to-artificial-general-intelligence-talks-are-ongoing-and-we-are-optimistic">reportedly dispute contractual terms</a> regarding artificial general intelligence access.
Meta stock has gained momentum with analysts predicting potential increases toward $800, supported by the company&#8217;s aggressive AI recruitment strategy and Mark Zuckerberg&#8216;s personal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46132953/fake-news-former-engineer-joining-meta-refutes-sam-altmans-100m-golden-pass-accusation-to-poach-openai-talent">leadership of the superintelligence initiative</a>.

SpaceX and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s vision for Mars as a political project was reportedly thwarted in 2024 due to concerns about AI and political interference, according to a conversation revealed by Peter Thiel.
What Happened:&nbsp;Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>), disclosed a conversation he had with Elon Musk in 2024 in an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/opinion/peter-thiel-antichrist-ross-douthat.html">interview </a>with The New York Times on Thursday.
Elon Musk reportedly told Thiel &#8220;There's nowhere to go&#8221; after the PayPal co-founder said he wanted to leave the U.S. if Donald Trump doesn&#8217;t become the President. 
&#8220;It was about two hours&nbsp;after we had dinner and&nbsp;I was home that I&nbsp;thought of: &#8220;Wow, Elon, you&nbsp;don&#8217;t&nbsp;believe in going to Mars&nbsp;anymore,&#8221; Thiel said. 
Thiel claimed that Demis Hassabis&nbsp;CEO of Google&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) DeepMind,&nbsp; warned Musk that his AI could follow humans to Mars. This revelation reportedly led to Musk&#8217;s silence and a shift in his perspective on the Mars project.
According to Thiel, it took Musk until 2024 to fully process the implications of this conversation. He began to view Mars not just as a scientific endeavor, but as a political project that could be influenced by external factors like AI and government policies.
&#8220;2024 is the year where&nbsp;Elon stopped believing in Mars&nbsp;— not as a silly&nbsp;science tech project, but as&nbsp;a political project,&#8221; stated Thiel.
&#8220;And in 2024 Elon came to believe that if you went to Mars, the socialist U.S. government, the woke A.I. would follow you to Mars.&#8221;
SpaceX did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46160509/irans-top-diplomat-to-un-says-uranium-enrichment-to-continue-an-inalienable-right" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Iran&#8217;s Top Diplomat To UN Says Uranium Enrichment To Continue: An &#8216;Inalienable Right&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: Despite Theil&#8217;s claims, reports in May indicated that Musk&#8217;s SpaceX was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45606144/after-fiery-setbacks-elon-musks-spacex-doubles-down-on-starship-for-bold-2026-mars-push-report">intensifying efforts</a>&nbsp;to prepare its experimental Starship rocket for a potential Mars mission in 2026.
Moreover, Musk has long been an advocate for Mars colonization, citing it as humanity&#8217;s &#8220;life insurance&#8221; policy. In a separate interview in May 2025, Musk warned that Earth&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/05/45480331/elon-musk-says-earth-only-has-10-of-its-life-left-before-its-incinerated-by-the-sun-calls-colonizing-mars-humanitys-life-insurance-polic">only has 10% of its life left</a>&nbsp;before it&#8217;s &#8220;incinerated&#8221; by the sun, making Mars colonization essential for humanity&#8217;s survival.
Despite his concerns about AI, Musk has also invested in several AI startups, including DeepMind, following a warning from Hassabis about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45710311/elon-musk-called-ai-an-existential-risk-for-human-civilization-yet-he-invested-early-in-deepmind-after-this-warning-from-co-founder-demis-hassabis">dangers </a>of advanced AI to human civilization. This apparent contradiction in Musk&#8217;s actions and beliefs raises questions about the future of his Mars ambitions.

Elon Musk Stopped Believing In Mars Dream As A 'Political Project' In 2024, Says Peter Theil Amid 'Woke AI' And 'Socialist Government' Fears

Economist Craig Shapiro has been calling for a national housing policy overhaul, as he believes the housing market is &#8220;rigged,&#8221; amid New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani&#8216;s ambitious housing reform agenda.
What Happened: In a detailed Substack <a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-167096016">essay</a> and an X thread, the macro strategist at the Bears Trap Report, Shapiro, highlights how the housing market has become an &#8220;over-subsidized, under-scrutinized asset class in America.&#8221;
According to him, &#8220;Housing is no longer just shelter,&#8221; it's an asset class, and &#8220;It's time for a reset — one that unwinds the monetary premium embedded in home prices and redirects policy toward making shelter accessible again.&#8221;
This comes amid the rising popularity of the Democratic primary winner for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46087359/zohran-mamdani-leads-nyc-mayoral-primary-andrew-cuomo-concedes-race">mayor of New York City</a>, Mamdani. Apart from affordable childcare, taxing the rich, free buses, and raising minimum wages, his ambitious agenda also includes a $70 billion dream of building 200,000 units of affordable housing and freezing rent on the city's nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments.
Meanwhile, Shapiro explains that housing policy in the U.S. is not just economic — it's political. The current regime benefits several powerful groups:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Homeowners who rely on home appreciation for retirement security.</li>
<li>Real estate agents and lenders earn more from higher prices.</li>
<li>Institutional landlords benefit from the limited supply and rising rents.</li>
<li>Local governments fear voter backlash if property values fall.</li>
</ul>
&#8220;And so, despite growing unaffordability, tax advantages for homeowners persist. Zoning laws continue to restrict supply. Investors still enjoy favorable treatment through 1031 exchanges and depreciation loopholes. All while 36% of Americans — renters — receive almost none of these benefits,&#8221; he adds.

Why It Matters: As a solution to the crisis, Shapiro advocates for a &#8220;Great Housing Reset&#8221; to shift the focus from housing as a speculative asset to affordable shelter.
It includes gradually phasing out mortgage interest deductions and capping capital gains exclusions for high-income earners on primary residences, eliminating 1031 exchanges for residential investment properties, and linking federal infrastructure funding to local zoning reforms that encourage multifamily housing.
Furthermore, he suggests redirecting federal support from homeowners to renters through universal housing vouchers and renter equity programs, believing these changes would lead to a &#8220;soft landing&#8221; for housing prices and a more equitable, accessible housing market.

President Donald Trump has issued a warning that New York City&#8217;s federal funding could be in jeopardy if Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani doesn&#8217;t do the &#8220;right thing&#8221; if he wins the mayoral election.
What Happened: Trump expressed that Mamdani must &#8220;do the right thing&#8221; if elected, or the city could face a reduction in its federal funding. The President made these comments during a Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6375019938112">interview </a>with Maria Bartiromo that aired on Sunday.
"Let's say this, if he does get in, I'm going to be president and he's going to have to do the right thing, or they're not getting any money&#8230;He's got to do the right thing," stated Trump.
Trump warned that any future mayor of New York must &#8220;behave themselves,&#8221; or else the federal government will impose severe financial consequences.
He has previously threatened to cut federal funding for local politicians in blue states with whom he disagrees. For instance, he threatened to withdraw funding from California due to Governor&nbsp;Gavin Newsom&#8216;s policies on transgender athletes in women&#8217;s sports.
Trump&#8217;s warning is not only directed at Mamdani, who recently defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in the city&#8217;s Democratic mayoral primary, but also extends to all mayoral candidates in New York City.
Trump has repeatedly labeled Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, as a communist. Mamdani, however, has rejected this label.

Why It Matters: Mamdani&#8217;s victory in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor has sparked strong political reactions. Trump has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46107353/trump-says-democrats-have-crossed-the-line-with-zohran-mamdani-bernie-sanders-elizabeth-warren-back-new-york-mayoral-candidates-grassroots-suppo">condemned </a>the win as a sign that the Democratic Party has veered too far left.
Despite the criticism, prominent senators such as Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) have thrown their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46107353/trump-says-democrats-have-crossed-the-line-with-zohran-mamdani-bernie-sanders-elizabeth-warren-back-new-york-mayoral-candidates-grassroots-suppo">support </a>behind Mamdani, citing his &#8220;grassroots&#8221; approach.
Meanwhile, Cameron Winklevoss, co-founder of cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, has expressed reluctance to support a candidate against Mamdani in the New York City mayoral race, suggesting that the city must &#8220;learn the hard way&#8221; the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46108180/no-point-fighting-against-the-tide-by-opposing-zohran-mamdani-says-gemini-co-founder-cameron-winklevoss-things-will-have-to-get-worse-in-nyc-before-they-get-better">consequences </a>of Marxist and socialist ideologies.

Trump Threatens To Cut Federal Funding For NYC If Zohran Mamdani Doesn't Do The 'Right Thing' As Future Mayor: 'If He Does Get In, I'm Going To Be President...'

Tesla researcher Troy Teslike has highlighted Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) struggle to adapt to lower sales in Canada, predicting GAAP losses for the company starting in Q1 2026.
What Happened: In a post on X on Sunday, Teslike pointed out that Tesla is grappling with a significant drop in sales in Canada, largely due to political controversy.
He cited that sales have nearly hit rock bottom, while the company continues to operate 35 stores across the country, thereby keeping SG&amp;A (Selling, General, and Administrative) costs high.

This was a two-year low for the company, amid incentive cuts and criticism around Elon Musk's political ties with the Donald Trump administration.
