Live Blog Update #3 Published
ChatGPT’s grip on the AI chatbot market is loosening, with its global market share dropping below 50% for the first time, according to TechCrunch. Sensor Tower data through the end of May shows ChatGPT still leading the pack at 46.4% with over 1.1 billion monthly users, but Gemini has climbed to 27.7% with 662 million users, while Claude holds 10.3% with 245 million, and the remaining players, including Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek, and Meta AI, each sit under 5%. ChatGPT was above the 50% mark as recently as January, and the erosion appears tied to a few factors, not least users increasingly bouncing between assistants rather than committing to one.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is the rare mega-cap where five years of waiting has barely moved the stock price, but the business underneath looks nothing like it did in 2021. Shares sit at $399 today versus $341 five years ago, a modest gain that masks a 109% surge in EPS, from $8.05 to $16.80, while the P/E multiple has collapsed 37.5%, from 37.9x down to 23.7x. The stock isn’t expensive because it grew into a higher valuation; it’s gotten cheaper while the fundamentals did all the work.
