Wedbush flags potential upside for Microsoft and Nvidia amid pressure on major AI-linked stocks

Microsoft shares and other large, AI-linked technology stocks have been under pressure in recent sessions, as investors reassess growth expectations and the pace of spending around artificial intelligence. Against that backdrop, analyst firm Wedbush issued a comparatively upbeat take on two of the sector’s most widely held bellwethers: Microsoft and Nvidia.

According to the Yahoo Finance report, Wedbush’s stance is framed as a “bold call” that highlights upside potential even after declines in the stocks. The note also ties the market’s current caution to broader weakness hitting the so-called “Magnificent 7,” a group of mega-cap technology and growth stocks that have been central to benchmarks and investor sentiment.

For Microsoft, Wedbush’s bullish framing comes at a time when traders have increasingly focused on how quickly demand for cloud and AI services can translate into durable revenue growth. The report does not provide additional details in the information available here, such as a specific price target, the size of any forecast revisions, or whether Wedbush attributed the near-term selloff to a particular catalyst.

For Nvidia, the same report places emphasis on a similar theme, namely that parts of the AI supply chain may be oversold relative to longer-term fundamentals. Nvidia’s market position as a supplier of AI chips and related systems has made its stock unusually sensitive to changes in customer purchasing plans and expectations for the next cycle of AI infrastructure buildouts.

From a broader industry perspective, the market’s tendency to react sharply to updates from the biggest cloud and enterprise buyers can amplify day-to-day volatility. When expectations for AI spending soften or become harder to time, even well-established platforms can draw selling pressure. In that environment, “beat-and-hold” calls from Wall Street research firms often reflect an attempt to separate near-term trading from longer-dated demand.

Still, the specific reasoning Wedbush used, beyond the headline bullishness toward Microsoft and Nvidia, is not detailed in the material available for this review. It is also unclear from the provided information whether Wedbush cited particular metrics, product adoption indicates, or changes in anticipated AI-related capital expenditures by Microsoft’s customers.

What to watch next is whether analysts and company disclosures begin to converge on a clearer view of AI spending timing, including how quickly Microsoft’s cloud and AI services translate customer demand into measurable growth. Investors will also look for evidence that recent weakness is stabilizing and for any follow-up guidance or updates that address the risk areas implied by the current market drawdown.
