Oppenheimer zlepšuje výhled pro Microsoft díky AI a cloudové dynamice, cílová cena 600 USD

Oppenheimer ve středu zvýšil hodnocení společnosti Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) z „Perform“ na „Outperform“ a stanovil novou cílovou cenu akcií na 600 USD.

Společnost zdůraznila svou rostoucí důvěru ve strategii společnosti v oblasti umělé inteligence a udržitelnou dynamiku v oblasti cloudu.

„Upgradujeme MSFT z Perform na Outperform a stanovujeme cílovou cenu 600 USD,“ napsali analytici a zdůraznili, že „pozornost investorů na nárůst příjmů Microsoftu z umělé inteligence bude jen stoupat, protože růst Azure zůstává silný.“

Podle Oppenheimera nyní AI podnikání nabízí podobnou podporu ocenění, jakou pro Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) hraje Amazon Web Services.

Společnost se domnívá, že trh stále podceňuje potenciál Microsoftu v oblasti AI. „Udržení robustního růstu v AI podnikání není plně zohledněno v ceně akcií,“ uvedli analytici a poukázali na příležitost pro Microsoft k opětovnému zrychlení růstu Azure v fiskálním roce 2026.

Microsoft je považován za jednu z mála softwarových společností, které jsou schopny dosáhnout toho, co analytici označují jako „obchodní profil podle pravidla 60“, což je odkaz na společnosti, které dosahují silného růstu tržeb a ziskovosti současně.

„Microsoft je jedním z mála dodavatelů v softwarovém průmyslu, který je schopen dosáhnout obchodního profilu podle pravidla 60 v bezprecedentním měřítku, což podle nás dobře podporuje prémiové multiplikátory,“ uvádí se v poznámce.

Vzhledem k pokračujícímu růstu Azure a zrychlujícímu se zavádění umělé inteligence v různých odvětvích očekává Oppenheimer, že Microsoft bude „jedním z dlouhodobých vítězů v oblasti umělé inteligence v softwaru“, což podporuje jejich optimistický výhled a potenciální zvýšení hodnocení akcií.

Euro Cools Faster Than Oil

Exchange Rates analysis

Those who first believed in peace paid the price for it. The euro hoped that the European Central Bank's rate hike in June would be just the first step. However, the decline in oil prices amid efforts to resolve the conflict in the Middle East deprived the region of its main inflation driver and cooled the enthusiasm of the hawks from Frankfurt.

Dynamics of European Inflation

Consumer prices in the eurozone rose by 2.8% in June, down from 3.2% the previous month, while Bloomberg experts expected 3%. Core inflation also slowed more than expected, and the services price indicator retreated to 3.2%. In France, the figure even returned to the ECB's target of 2%.

According to Bloomberg Economics, if the decline in oil prices proves sustainable, it would indicate that the peak of CPI growth was reached in May. Arguments for an additional rate hike have significantly weakened. Christine Lagarde's rhetoric does not suggest readiness to act in 2026. However, if this does occur, it would be about completing a short cycle of monetary tightening rather than continuing it.

Not all members of the Governing Council share such a clear stance. Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel noted that, despite the pleasant surprise from oil prices, the fate of the fragile ceasefire in the Middle East remains uncertain. According to him, the July and September meetings remain "an open race." Governing Council member Martins Kazaks expressed himself more definitively: the urgency of sequential steps has significantly decreased. The markets interpreted this as a signal of a pause in the tightening of monetary policy.

Dynamics of Market Expectations for the Fed Rate

Meanwhile, across the ocean, a mirrored story is unfolding. Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh promised to speak less, letting the markets guess at the fate of rates. However, at his first press conference, investors had already heard enough: the futures market raised the probability of a federal funds rate hike in July to nearly 36%—an unimaginable level just a couple of weeks ago.

As a result, the divergence in monetary policy is working against EUR/USD. While the ECB is preparing to end the tightening cycle with a single step, the Federal Reserve is unexpectedly finding room to tighten. Frankfurt's caution and Washington's "hawkish" surprise create a headwind for the major currency pair.

Will the ceasefire in the Middle East last long enough to finally remove inflation risks from the eurozone? I doubt the parties will avoid new shocks, which means both the ECB and the euro will have to keep their noses to the wind.

Technically, on the daily chart for EUR/USD, a combination of a central doji bar and two bars with opposite bodies signals a counterattack by the bears. If they manage to solidify below 1.14, emphasis should be placed on forming short positions towards 1.12.
