Microsoft shares rose 0.8% to $467.68 a share, setting a record for the company for the first time in 11 months, CNBC reports.

Microsoft's market capitalization reached $3.48 trillion, making it once again the most valuable company in the world.

Meanwhile, Nvidia has a market cap of $3.42 trillion, while Apple is valued at $3 trillion.

The previous record level for Microsoft shares was recorded in July 2024. Since the beginning of 2025, the share price has increased by 11%, while the Nasdaq index has remained almost unchanged.

On Thursday, technology companies generally showed negative dynamics – in particular, due to the collapse of Tesla shares, caused by the public conflict between its CEO Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump.

However, Microsoft investors remain confident in the company's stability.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella emphasized the importance of the partnership with OpenAI, an artificial intelligence startup.

He noted that OpenAI has made a major new investment in Microsoft's Azure cloud platform. Microsoft's total investment in OpenAI has now reached nearly $14 billion.
