AI tech battle: Pick Microsoft over Meta, analyst says
Big tech companies are all about AI this earnings season. Meta Platforms (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) have spent a lot of money on ramping up their AI offerings, but only one has a stock you may want to consider for your portfolio, according to Visible Alpha Head of TMT Research Melissa Otto.

Google parent Alphabet last week became the latest of the so-called Magnificent Seven group of market heavyweights to start paying a dividend, after Meta Platforms declared one in February. That has left Amazon and Tesla as the only companies in the group that do not pay a dividend.
