Microsoft Corp. shares plunged by the most in three weeks after the company warned of a slowdown in cloud and business software sales.

Shares were down as much as 4.2% at $231.97, the lowest since Jan. 4. Microsoft said late Tuesday that Azure cloud-computing sales in the current period will slow by 4 or 5 points — down from the mid-30s percentage-wise at the end of the fiscal second quarter. The business had been a bright spot in an otherwise lackluster earnings report.

The stock fell about 4% to $232.54 at about 9:48 a.m. New York time. Analysts at BMO Capital Markets downgraded their rating on the stock and at least ten other brokerages trimmed their price targets. The stock dropped 29% in 2022, underperforming the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.adjusted profit in the period ended Dec. 31 of $2.32 a share, while sales rose to $52.7 billion. That compared with average analysts’ projections for $2.30 a share in earnings and $52.
