人工智能技术推动收益上涨,能够让微软公司(Microsoft Corp.)加入苹果公司(Apple Inc.)的行列,成为市值超过3万亿美元的精英股票。

这是摩根士丹利(Morgan Stanley)分析师的预测。摩根士丹利的分析师给予这家软件巨头的最新目标价为415美元,这意味着该公司的估值约为3.1万亿美元。以基思·韦斯为首的分析师们将微软列为大型软件公司的首选买入对象,并表示微软是该行业中最可能受益于人工智能增长的公司。

韦斯在一份报告中写道:“生成式人工智能有望大幅扩展利用软件实现业务流程自动化的范围。而微软在软件领域首屈一指,可以通过这种扩张获利。”

今年,市场上所有人工智能相关产品的狂热推高了微软的股价。微软支持的初创公司OpenAI的ChatGPT工具爆火,一举成功,掀起了人工智能热潮。微软目前正计划利用OpenAI技术全面改造其Office应用程序系列,包括Excel、PowerPoint、Outlook和Word。

韦斯表示,尽管微软股价今年已经上涨了42%,但估值“仍然合理”。他写道,“尽管微软在生成式人工智能领域的地位无与伦比,”但该股所谓的PEG比率(市盈率除预期收益增长率)“与历史平均水平保持一致”。PEG比率是成长型投资者经常使用的指标。

韦斯将微软的目标价格从335美元上调至415美元。这是彭博社(Bloomberg)追踪的分析师中第二高的目标价格,仅次于雷德本的450美元的目标价格。自2016年年初以来,摩根士丹利一直给予微软超配评级,该股在此期间上涨了超过500%。

华尔街其他机构也对该股持乐观态度,共有52位分析师给予买入或相当评级。根据彭博社收集的数据,其中只有三位分析师的目标价格暗示,微软将在明年达到历史性的3万亿美元市值大关。微软的股价在7月6日上涨0.9%。

Artificial intelligence-driven gains can propel Microsoft Corp. to join Apple Inc. in the elite category of stocks with a market capitalization of more than $3 trillion.

That’s according to analysts at Morgan Stanley, whose new $415 price target for the software giant implies a valuation of around $3.1 trillion. The analysts, led by Keith Weiss, named Microsoft their top pick among large cap software companies, and said that it is the best placed in the sector to benefit from the growth of AI.

“Generative AI looks to significantly expand the scope of business processes able to be automated by software,” Weiss wrote in a note. “Microsoft stands best positioned in software to monetize that expansion.”

A market frenzy for all things AI-related has supercharged Microsoft shares this year. Startup OpenAI Inc., which is backed by Microsoft, has fueled much of the excitement amid the viral success of its ChatGPT tool. Microsoft is now looking to overhaul its entire lineup of Office apps — including Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Word — with OpenAI technology.

Despite a 42% share-price rally this year, the valuation is “still reasonable,” according to Weiss. The stock’s so-called PEG ratio, or the price-earnings multiple divided by the expected percentage growth in earnings, “remains in line with historical averages, despite the unrivaled generative AI positioning,” he wrote. The PEG ratio is a metric often used by growth-focused investors.

Weiss raised his price target to $415 from $335. That’s the second highest among analysts tracked by Bloomberg after Redburn’s $450 target. Morgan Stanley has rated Microsoft overweight since early 2016, and the stock has gained more than 500% in that period.

The rest of Wall Street is also overwhelmingly bullish on the stock — with 52 analysts rating it a buy or equivalent. Still, only three of them have price targets that imply Microsoft getting to the historic $3 trillion market capitalization mark by next year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Microsoft’s stock rose 0.9% on July 6.

Apple made Wall Street history in June as the first company with a market value of over $3 trillion.
