This Stock Was the Worst Performer of the Magnificent Seven in the First Quarter. Is it a Buy Today?

The article reviews Q1 performance of the Magnificent Seven tech stocks, noting all seven fell amid AI worries, U.S. economic concerns and geopolitical risk, though the S&P 500 has since rebounded. Microsoft was the worst performer, plunging about 23% in Q1, but the piece argues the decline reflects sentiment more than fundamentals. Microsoft’s cloud revenue jumped 26% to over $50 billion and the company has invested roughly $13 billion in OpenAI. With forward earnings trading around 22x — down from 35x highs and near a multi-year low — the author sees Microsoft as a bargain for growth investors. The article frames the selloff as broad market-driven rather than company-specific and suggests long-term investors may view the pullback as a buying opportunity.
