Microsoft, the pioneer computer company in the field of operating systems, continues to differentiate its business. In a surprise move on Friday, he acquired GitHub, the world's leading provider of shared code development services. Following the news, the price of the shares rises above 100 $, a very important psychological resistance that has never been reached so far by the company led by Satya Nadella. With the latest appreciation of the action Microsoft even surpasses Alphabet as market capitalization and remains behind only Amazon and Apple.
The first rumors about the agreement, whose details are still private, seem to indicate an evaluation of GitHub around 2 billion dollars. In this case, an attentive trader should be ready to position even short if the acquisition had cost much more than expected by the market and / or if this operation was financed by an increase in shares.
This eventuality, however, it seems remote given the strong liquidity that the company founded by Bill Gates has. GitHub has recently had problems with the transformation of its business into profits it is hoped that this acquisition, also because of the possible integration with Microsoft services, such as Office, can lead to an increase of the same. [19659005] All analysts expect that remote work in general, and that related to software development in particular, will continue to be increasingly a resource used by companies; therefore it is easy to assume an increase in turnover in the coming years
With this acquisition the Redmond company strongly strengthens its range of services and products, making it more diverse than its direct competitors and not. For example, both Apple and Alphabet have no presence in the gaming segment, a segment in which Microsoft has managed to carve out large slices of the market thanks to the family of products that revolves around the Xbox brand.
Even in the very strong growth segment of intelligence artificial the company can boast a solid framework linked to the Azure ecosystem, second only to that of Google. Ultimately, Microsoft presents itself as a company much more complete than its competitors, able to benefit, therefore, from the growth of different segments in the contemporary information society. If the transaction is confirmed and respects the amounts envisaged by the market it is easy to assume an appreciation of a further 10% over a period of one month.
