Profit-Taking & Consolidation: The gains were pared back in the evening session and today's trading as investors took profits following a significant rally that saw the stock hit a near 17-year high. Strong Q1 earnings (Adj. Operating Profit +54%, AI & Cloud Revenue +49%) provide a solid fundamental floor.
