Wall Street had previously feared the Democratic Party would sweep the U.S. midterm elections, but the election results instead pushed Microsoft Corp.’s stock price to a new all-time high. According to data from BIT Stock Platform, Microsoft’s stock rose as much as 7% on Wednesday, hitting $559.15 to reach a new all-time high. This marks Microsoft’s largest single-day gain since late July. To date, its stock has climbed nearly 60% from its 2026 low of $349.20. The Democratic Party secured control of both chambers of Congress, as well as winning the gubernatorial elections in Texas, Ohio, and Georgia. Leaders in these states had previously pledged to strengthen regulation of data centers. Investors are betting that a slowdown in AI infrastructure development will benefit large enterprises that already possess computing power capacity. These firms can maintain their pricing power while also seeing reduced pressure on ongoing capital expenditures. In contrast, emerging cloud service providers (Neocloud) will be the hardest hit.

Beating AI Express News: OpenAI has announced the acquisition of development tools startup Pierre Computer, with plans to add code hosting functionality to Codex. Historically, Codex has focused on helping developers write and edit code; now, OpenAI aims to take over code storage and management, positioning it to directly compete with Microsoft-owned GitHub. Pierre’s two open-source tools, Trees and Diffs, are already integrated into Codex, used for browsing project files and reviewing code changes respectively. OpenAI’s acquisition target also includes Pierre’s commercial code hosting service, Code Storage. Code Storage can save code, track modification history, and offer APIs that enable AI agents to directly create and manage code repositories, supporting simultaneous operations by multiple agents. Currently, AI programming products including Lovable, Bolt, and Amp are already using the service. OpenAI is also revamping its own code management system. On November 2, the company unveiled its in-house developed Pando, a tool designed specifically to resolve performance issues when a large number of agents write code and submit changes simultaneously. Pando is already in internal use at OpenAI, cutting the median time for code pushes by nearly 80%. Following the acquisition, OpenAI will gradually integrate Code Storage into Codex. Pierre’s existing open-source projects will remain open-source.
