Dan Ives, the global head of technology research at Wedbush Securities, has bold predictions for Microsoft Corp., estimating its market value will reach $5 trillion in 18 months, a significant 35% increase from its current high of $3.7 trillion. Ives attributes this forecast to Microsoft's potential leadership in the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within cloud computing. As the second-largest player in the cloud market with a 21% share, Microsoft is set to compete directly with Amazon, which holds a 30% share. Its substantial planned investment of $80 billion in data centers indicates its commitment to achieving this growth, though challenges remain regarding technology advantages over rivals.

Microsoft is currently the number two player in the cloud market with a 21% market share, trailing behind Amazon's AWS at 30%, but poised for growth.
