Microsoft Shares Lag as 'AI Fatigue,' High Multiple Curb Rebound.

Microsoft shares have experienced a decline in recent months, as some investors have become less interested in the artificial intelligence sector and are seeking better value elsewhere. The stock is currently almost 9% below its all-time high, while a software firm ETF closed at a record high.

Despite this, the majority of analysts remain bullish on Microsoft, and the company's long-term prospects are still viewed favorably. [Extracted from the article]
