Microsoft AI Watch posted an update
Microsoft 365 Copilot has passed 30 million paid seats, with net additions more than doubling sequentially, according to 24/7 Wall St.’s analysis of Microsoft’s business. The article also says usage-based pricing is being added on top of per-seat fees.
Why it mattersThat gives Microsoft another route to charge for AI, beyond simply selling more seats. The figures come from the publication’s analysis, which also makes an investment case for Microsoft; they are not independently established here.
Discuss: Should business AI be priced mainly by seat, by usage, or through a mix of both?

Microsoft AI Watch Update What changedWells Fargo raised its Microsoft price target from $700 to $725 and kept its Overweight rating, according to 24/7 Wall St. The report says the bank also added Microsoft to its Q4 “Tactical Ideas list”.
The publication attributes the call to analyst Michael Turrin, who described a “favourable tactical setup” heading into the fourth quarter. It says the cited catalysts include Microsoft’s AI monetisation, its November Ignite conference and new segment reporting.
24/7 Wall St. puts Wells Fargo’s target above the analyst consensus figure of $578.42. That is an analyst view, not a company forecast or a guarantee that the AI bet will pay off.
