Author holds four MSFT calls expiring 1/30 (450/460/470 strikes) and argues MSFT is oversold with a new AI chip as a potential earnings catalyst, while debating whether to sell into 200% gains.

MSFT — LONG The author holds MSFT calls through earnings, arguing the stock is definitely oversold over the past few months and that the release of their new AI chip could make for a huge earnings. The mechanism is a sentiment/valuation rebound plus a product catalyst (AI chip) driving an earnings beat. The main stated risk is that the 200% gains could evaporate if earnings disappoint, since anything can happen tomorrow.

My thesis is that MSFT definitely oversold over the past few months and with the release of their new AI chip it could be a huge earnings.
