The US stock market has not lived up to expectations so far in 2025. However, with tariff concerns abounding, experts still have faith in a turnaround. Among the most promising stocks to load up on is Microsoft (MSFT), which has gotten a $510 target and new bullish rating amid anticipation for a key growth plan.

The company has long been viewed as a mega-cap stock with immense potential to surge. Indeed, the artificial intelligence demand surge that dominated the market this year is expected to benefit share price. Moreover, its entry into a new market could only add to the stock’s ceiling this year.
