Microsoft Slides 20% in June, Worst Month Since Year 2000
MSFT is cratering at a pace not seen in 25 years, shedding over $1.3T in market cap and falling behind Nvidia.
Microsoft is having a month traders don't forget. Shares are down more than 20% in June alone — the steepest single-month decline since December 2000, back when the dot-com bubble was bursting. That's not a typo. Twenty-five years of monthly performance, and this one is the worst.
The market cap damage is staggering. A year ago, Microsoft was sitting near $4 trillion, one of the most valuable companies on the planet. Today that number has collapsed to roughly $2.65 trillion.

That last part should sting for long-term MSFT holders. Nvidia, the AI chipmaker that barely registered in most portfolios five years ago, is now worth more than the company behind Windows, Azure, and Office.

For active traders, this is the kind of chart that demands a decision. A 20% monthly drop in a mega-cap isn't noise — it's a structural repricing. Whether that repricing is an overreaction or a fair reflection of competitive pressure is the question every Microsoft bull has to answer honestly right now. Catching a falling knife here requires serious conviction, not just nostalgia for a $4 trillion peak.
