Microsoft on Monday announced a $60 billion stock buyback program and a 10% boost to its quarterly dividend. The moves come as Microsoft faces pressure to show its spending on artificial intelligence (AI) is paying off.

Microsoft's share repurchase program, which has no expiration date, replaces its previous $60 billion authorization announced four years ago. Meanwhile, investors also cheered the news that shareholders of record as of Nov. 21 will receive a quarterly dividend of 83 cents per share, up from the current 75 cents a share.
