The announcement, and the market’s answer.
Microsoft issued a press release, carried via PR Web, on Jul 16, 2026. It was one of 2 Microsoft headlines News Quantified labeled that day, so its measurement window overlaps with the others on a shared tape. The same session also carried Microsoft's "10ZiG and Cendio Partner to Deliver Secure, High-Performance Linux…", each measured on its own clock.
Against the price at the news timestamp, MSFT moved +0.11% after five minutes and -0.26% by the close — about 2.3× Microsoft's median close-day move of -0.11% across 2,000+ events. Because several releases shared that day, their measurement windows overlap and no single headline cleanly owns the move.

How the numbers are made.
How was MSFT's +0.11% reaction measured?
From the news timestamp, not the trading day: News Quantified takes the last trade before this press release as the base price and measures the move five minutes of trading later — point-in-time, zero look-ahead. The same clock produced the -0.26% to-close figure.
What is Microsoft's median reaction, and how does this event compare?
Microsoft's median is drawn from 2,000+ labeled events; at 30 minutes it sits at +0.02%, and -0.11% by the close. This event's move is one draw from that distribution — ordinary or outlier, the chart's median ticks show which.
2 Microsoft headlines shared Jul 16, 2026. Whose reaction is this?
Each of the 2 same-day Microsoft events is measured from its own timestamp, but their windows overlap on one tape, so we show the cluster rather than pretending a single headline owns the move.
Does -0.26% predict Microsoft's next reaction?
No. -0.26% is a realized fact about Jul 16, 2026, not a forecast. Past reactions describe a distribution; they say nothing certain about any future move.
