Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)'s shares have been among the weakest performers in 2026 as they are down by 22% year-to-date. June was an important month for the firm as it announced a slew of new AI initiatives. These include a new AI model, agents for its Copilot platform and APIs to bring work-specific context to AI agents. Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has also collaborated with NVIDIA to announce Windows PCs powered by the latter's products.
While we acknowledge the potential of MSFT as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
