Microsoft rises to Wall Street by more than 1% and joins the super-exclusive club of companies worth $ 2 trillion. A group so small that at the moment it boasts only one company: Apple with its 2,230 billion dollars of market capitalization. The Saudi giant Aramco had crossed the fateful threshold but only momentarily, and is now worth 1.9 trillion.
Value doubled in two years
Up 19% since the beginning of the year, Microsoft stocks are galloping with better performances than those of Cupertino and Amazon, thanks to investor expectations for sustained long-term growth and expansion into cloud computing. It took Microsoft 33 years from listing to reach $ 1 trillion in 2019, but then it took only two more to double. Since taking office in 2014, CEO Satya Nadella has redesigned Redmond while at the same time managing to avoid the American authorities’ beacon, instead aimed at its other Big Tech rivals.

The dark moment Gates
Microsoft “is favored by investors, delivers strong and sustainable growth, and remains well positioned to capitalize on the trends we see in technology,” says Edward Jones analyst Logan Purk with Bloomberg. Microsoft’s sprint comes at a difficult time for Bill Gates, one of the founders along with Paul Allen. Gates has in fact recently separated from his wife Melinda and since then rumors have been running around as to why. Among the hypotheses put forward that of a relationship with an employee when she was still within the company but above all her acquaintance with Jeffrey Epstein, the financier accused of trafficking in minors who committed suicide in prison. Rumors that haven’t shaken Microsoft.
