Microsoft (MSFT) shares are headed for their worst month since 2000, according to data published Monday by Bloomberg.
After a bruising month for Big Tech, in which investors sold out of Microsoft, shares in the tech leader are down roughly 17% in June. If shares close out the month at that level, it will be the worst month for Microsoft since December 2000, when the company lost 24.4%.
The company has lost roughly $570 billion in market value.
However, if shares can rally to finish the month anywhere better than a loss of 16.56%, February 2008 — only months before the collapse of Lehman Brothers triggered a global economic meltdown — will continue to stand as the worst month for Microsoft since December 2000.
2026 has largely been a good year for the tech sector, as State Street's technology sector ETF (XLK) has returned 27% to date, higher than the S&P's 8%. Yet tech's megacap leaders have had a harder go of it: The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS), which tracks the performance of the so-called Mag Seven stocks (Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), Tesla (TSLA), and Nvidia (NVDA)) has shed 10.7% over the past month of trading days, for a yearly loss of roughly 4%.
