Regardless, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/820\/MSFT-Q\">Microsoft<\/a> jumped 2.46% after weekend news that it had beaten <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/67\/AMZN-Q\">Amazon<\/a> to win a $10 billion cloud <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.businessinsider.com\/news\/stocks\/microsoft-set-for-record-open-secures-10-billion-pentagon-contract-2019-10-1028636026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contract<\/a> from the U.S. Army.<\/p>\n<p>But the deal isn&#8217;t a slam dunk for Microsoft.
