Interpreting the Data (Without Conclusion):

The data from this single day shows that Microsoft experienced a notable decline in its stock price, dropping from its opening value and its previous close. The daily high and low provide the range within which the stock traded. The market capitalization confirms its status as a colossal company. The P/E ratio, dividend yield, and quarterly dividend amount offer insights into its valuation and investor returns. Comparing the current price to the 52-week high and low gives context on where the stock stands relative to its annual performance extremes.
