Enbridge Inc

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) shares received a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MSFT/analyst-ratings">nice price target bump </a>a week ahead of the software giant&#8217;s quarterly earnings release.
The Microsoft Analyst: Piper Sandler analyst Brent Bracelin reiterated an Overweight rating on Microsoft shares and upped the price target from $465 to $485. The updated price target suggests the stock has about 10% upside potential.
Microsoft took 13 years (from fiscal 2010 to 2023) to achieve a $100 billion annual revenue run-rate for its Cloud services business but the next $100 billion cloud revenue could come in just three years, said Bracelin in a note. Over the 13-years, capex and lease exceeded $176 billion, he noted. The critical data center investments should, therefore, be compressed to support a potential doubling of Microsoft Cloud revenue to $200 billion+ exiting fiscal year 2026, he said.
&#8220;Growth investors should look beyond near-term fears of an AI overbuild with the lens of a broader cloud transformation still underway that could help sustain double-digit top-line and bottom-line growth through 2030,&#8221; the analyst said. He expects the Cloud mix, aided by AI, to expand to 63% by fiscal year 2026, up from 53% today and sharply higher than the 10% in fiscal 2016.

The analyst expects June quarter Azure revenue growth of 32% on a constant currency basis compared to the 30-31% guidance, with AI contributing at least seven percentage points of growth.
The analyst noted that a majority of Microsoft AI shows up in IaaS rather than SaaS, with the proportion at 95% vs. 5%. He expects capex and lease to surpass $19 billion in the June quarter.
As such, the analyst increased his calendar year 2025 earnings per share estimate by 17 cents on slightly higher growth assumptions, and the calendar year 2025 P/E multiple from 33 times to 34 times on strong cloud momentum. The upward adjustment to the price target is to give effect to the revisions to the earnings estimate and the P/E multiple, he added.
Microsoft is scheduled to report its fiscal year 2024 fourth-quarter earnings after the market closes on Tuesday, July 30. Analysts, on average, expect the company to report earnings per share of $2.93 and revenue of $64.35 billion. This compares to the year-ago earnings of $2.69 per share and revenue of $56.19 billion.
Microsoft Price Action: Microsoft shares ended Monday&#8217;s session up 1.33% to $442.94, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data. </a>The stock has gained over 18% year-to-date.

Microsoft Stock Has Further Room To Run, Says Analyst, As Software Giant Remains On Track To Hit $200B Cloud Revenue In 2 Years

Prominent venture capitalist Naval Ravikant hailed Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk as the &#8220;real winner,&#8221; with news of President Joe Biden dropping out from the 2024 election <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39874057/biden-drops-out-of-2024-race-in-bombshell-announcement-it-has-been-the-greatest-honor-of-my-life">breaking out on X</a> ahead of other platforms.
What Happened: Ravikant, a well-known venture capitalist, made the statement on X, a social media platform. He said, &#8220;The real winner in the election is Elon Musk.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

He also responded to a comment about Trump&#8217;s potential return to X, saying, &#8220;Trump's continuing commitment to Truth Social is costing him dearly.&#8221;

This comment comes in the wake of several significant events, including Tesla&#8217;s earnings report, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39759980/biden-vs-trump-elon-musk-reportedly-donates-sizable-amount-to-ex-presidents-campaign-expert-calls-it">Musk&#8217;s endorsement of Trump</a>, and Ravikant&#8217;s previous support of Musk during a contentious debate over his $56 billion pay package.

Why It Matters: This statement from Ravikant comes after a series of events that have put Musk in the spotlight. Earlier in June, Ravikant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39246807/investor-naval-ravikant-threatens-to-sell-all-tesla-holdings-if-ceo-musks-pay-plan-is-rejected-b">threatened to sell all his Tesla holdings</a> if Musk&#8217;s $56 billion compensation package was not approved. He also pledged to buy more shares if the package was passed.
After a failed assassination attempt on Trump, Musk endorsed the former president, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39873661/elon-musk-is-as-smart-as-you-get-says-trump-as-ex-president-tones-down-ev-rhetoric">who then praised Musk</a> during a campaign speech in Michigan, calling him &#8220;as smart as you get.&#8221; Trump also softened his stance on electric vehicles, aligning more closely with Musk&#8217;s interests. 
On Sunday, Biden announced his decision to drop out of the presidential race in a letter posted on his official X account, after growing pressure from colleagues in the Democratic party and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39852736/exclusive-biden-victory-fund-suspends-donor-calls-pause-calling-indefinitely-as-of-tonight" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">big-name fundraisers</a>. 
Recently, Biden tested positive for COVID-19 and took the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/39829417/biden-gets-covid-19-takes-a-fiesty-dig-at-tesla-ceo-im-sick-of-elon-musk-and-his-rich-buddies-trying">opportunity to criticize Musk</a> and other billionaires for allegedly funding Trump&#8217;s campaign. Biden&#8217;s comments highlight the ongoing political tension surrounding Musk&#8217;s involvement in the election.

What Happened: On Monday, Senator Lummis took to X to say, &#8220;Big things are in store this week. Stay tuned!&#8221; What grabbed everyone&#8217;s attention was the way in which the first letter of the sentence, &#8216;₿&#8216; was written, symbolizing Bitcoin.

Pro-Bitcoin Senator Cynthia Lummis Stirs Crypto Community With 'Big Things Are In Store This Week' Message

Tesla Cybertruck customers have been trying a variety of wraps on their otherwise stainless steel vehicle, many of which company CEO Elon Musk seems to like. 
What Happened: A few weeks ago, Utah-based Macie, who wraps, tints, and details vehicles, shared a small video of a Cybertruck wrapped in aquamarine which glints purple and blue when hit by light. 
&#8220;The easiest car I've ever wrapped,&#8221; Macie, who goes by the username &#8220;Utah County Customs,&#8221; wrote. Macie has previously posted videos of her wrapping and detailing multiple cars including a Toyota 4Runner, and even a 1991 GMC Syclone.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1003" height="899" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/23014744/image-35.png" alt="" class="wp-image-450223" style="width:541px;height:auto" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/23014744/image-35.png 1003w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/23014744/image-35-300x269.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/23014744/image-35-768x688.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1003px) 100vw, 1003px" /></figure>
Musk responded to the video of the glinting Cybertruck on social media platform X, terming it &#8220;Cool.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1815604905979089266?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 23, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: The Cybertruck&#8217;s stainless steel body allows no exterior paint. However, customers can wrap the truck with either wraps available at Tesla&#8217;s online shop or more individualistic wraps from third-party customizers.
Several interestingly wrapped Cybertrucks have emerged on roads and social media to date. While celebrity couple Jay-Z and Beyoncé wrapped their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/02/37406396/jay-z-beyonc-personalize-their-cybertruck-elon-musk-reacts">Cybertruck in matte black</a>, Mexican entrepreneur Alejandro Salomon designed his vehicle wrap after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38628243/elon-musk-impressed-by-tesla-cybertrucks-world-war-2-inspired-wrap-cool">P-51 Mustang Bomber</a>.
Rapper Lil Baby designed his vehicle wrap to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39613831/elon-musk-thinks-cybertruck-wrap-resembling-marvel-superhero-deadpool-looks-cool">resemble a big apple </a>and footballer Isaiah Simmons wrapped it in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39562595/elon-musk-reacts-to-footballer-isaiah-simmons-white-tesla-cybertruck-parked-up-in-manhattan-nice">matte white with white wheel caps</a>. Elon Musk responded to these, terming them &#8220;cool&#8221; and &#8220;nice.&#8221;
Tesla&#8217;s online shop also provides different color paint films to wrap the vehicle, including stealth black, rose gold, and even abyss blue. The colored wraps are priced between $6,000 and $6,500. A clear paint film, meanwhile, is priced at $5,000.

The U.S. government was seen moving millions in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, sparking speculations about the true motivation behind the transfer.
What Happened: According to on-chain data, a wallet linked to the U.S. government deposited 58.74 BTC, worth nearly $4 million, to Coinbase Prime &#8211; a brokerage platform meant for institutional investors.&nbsp;

It is unclear whether the government&#8217;s goal is to unload the holdings or if it is simply a routine fund management exercise.
Additional data shows that the funds were seized by the U.S. Department of Justice from <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-md/pr/father-and-son-sentenced-laundering-drug-trafficking-bitcoin-proceeds-intended-federal">Ryan Farace</a> who was convicted for selling Xanax tablets through Bitcoin on darknet marketplaces.
With the latest transfer, the wallet tied to the Farace Seizure has been emptied.

Why It Matters: The U.S. government has moved out as many as 6,261 state-owned Bitcoins, worth $392 million, in 2024, most of them after the price began to rise in February.
As of this writing, the government still holds more than 213,000 Bitcoin, worth more than $14 billion as per current market prices.&nbsp;
These transfers occur as anticipation grows that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39897980/potential-trump-victory-could-stir-bitcoin-market-bernstein-analysts-predict-implications-">may announce Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset</a> in the upcoming Bitcoin Conference.&nbsp;
