Partnerships and Acquisitions: Strategic deals with companies like Nvidia and acquisitions in gaming (Activision Blizzard) are diversifying revenue streams.
Share Buybacks: Microsoft’s $60 billion share repurchase plan has strengthened investor confidence, boosting EPS growth.

  True, with the unpredictability of a Trump year, markets can be volatile, and anything could happen! Microsoft’s strong fundamentals and focus on AI and cloud growth might help weather the storm though.
