Investors in Microsoft Love Shorting Out-of-the-Money MSFT Puts

Microsoft Corp (MSFT) stock looks attractive to short-put MSFT investors. They can set a lower buy-in point and also collect income while waiting by shorting out-of-the-money put options. I wrote about this play in two recent Barchart articles and want to update investors.

MSFT closed just below $500 at $495.40 on Friday, Aug. 14. MSFT jumped significantly after its July 29 FY26 earnings release. I discussed in reasons why this happenned in two Barchart articles, on July 31 and Aug. 3.
