Microsoft has announced a $60 billion stock buyback while increasing its quarterly dividend by 10%. However, history suggests that such buybacks may have minimal effect on stock prices. The company's future growth is anticipated to come primarily from its advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly through its Azure cloud platform and AI-integrated products like GitHub Copilot. Despite the buyback, Microsoft's stock is more likely to be influenced by its ability to innovate in AI rather than by share repurchases.
