Down 18% This Year, Is Microsoft's Stock in Trouble?
2026-03-02 20:20:00 ET
Tech giant Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has been an excellent stock to own over the years. In the past decade, it has risen by around 660%, which translates into a compounded annual growth rate of more than 22% -- that's more than double the S&P 500 's long-run average of 10%.
That's what makes the stock's struggles this year all the more noticeable. Since the beginning of the year, Microsoft's stock has fallen by 18%. That's a big sell-off for what's traditionally been a safe tech stock to own. What's behind this decline, and could it be the start of an even bigger crash ahead for Microsoft, or could this be a great time to add it to your portfolio?
