Microsoft’s after hours share price of below $400 would be its lowest intraday level since May 2, while its 7% slide would be its worst day since October 2022, though after hours trading tends to bring more volatility.Last quarter was easily Microsoft’s highest-grossing one yet, trouncing the prior record of $62.02 billion set in the quarter ending last December and closing out Microsoft’s fiscal year with a bang. Microsoft’s $88.
