Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), the world’s largest technology company, has gained 19% since Cramer commented on the firm in the context of quantum computing. Most of the stock’s gains are not due to quantum computing. Instead, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has performed modestly well so far, as investors believe that the firm’s Azure cloud computing business is growing adequately to justify its multi-billion-dollar artificial intelligence investments. Here’s what Cramer said about Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and quantum computing:

“[A MSFT blog about quantum] I love the people at Microsoft. But the idea that this is quantum’s hour, they’re the only, well it’s easy to say it [inaudible], the problem is, is it commercial? And there isn’t anyone who thinks that the companies that are currently trading are commercial companies.”

Cramer’s recent comments about Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) have commented on its Azure cloud business:

“Azure, I think it might even be four, five percent. Meaning 39 get knocked back to [34, 35% growth]. Yeah so then Amazon doesn’t look as stupid and horrible as everybody says with Amazon Web Services falling behind. A lot of companies do write, younger companies want want to write on chat [ChatGPT], they want to write on OpenAI.”
