Both the company and the market keep it simple: a 10 billion investment is worth 10 billion until it has proven otherwise.\n\nTo be fair Microsoft has integrated other companies rather well over the last 35 years. But those strategic synergies are priced in of course. They have been priced in before ChatGPT was founded. That's why Microsoft's earning's ratio is higher than most companies.\n\nAn investment theory must be based on the market. That the *fair price* is for some reason wrong. That some specific circumstance is not accurately priced in yet. So investing in microsoft (or anywhere else) should not happen on the theory \"ChatGPT will perform well.\".
