Microsoft stock
The European Commission officially closed its antitrust investigation into Microsoft's bundling of Teams with Office 365 on August 28, 2026. The regulator confirmed that Microsoft's global decoupling of the products and improved interoperability for competitors sufficiently addressed market dominance concerns. This resolution mitigates a major legal risk and removes the possibility of a multi--billion dollar fine, providing a clearer path for the company's "AI--first" software strategy in the European market.
