What to Expect From Microsoft's Next Quarterly Earnings Report![]() Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) is the largest software company in the world. It dominates the PC software market with more than 80% of the market share for operating systems and also provides various market-leading business and productivity software. With a market cap of $3.7 trillion, Microsoft operates in 190+ countries across the globe. The software giant is expected to announce its fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday, Jul. 29. Ahead of the event, analysts expect Microsoft to report a profit of $3.35 per share, up 13.6% from $2.95 per share reported in the year-ago quarter. Furthermore, the company has surpassed Wall Street’s bottom-line estimates in each of the past four quarters. For fiscal 2025, analysts expect Microsoft to deliver an EPS of $13.36, up 13.2% from $11.80 reported in fiscal 2024. While in fiscal 2026, its earnings are expected to surge 12.1% year-over-year to $14.97 per share. MSFT stock has gained 6.5% over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 11.9% surge and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLK) 9.5% returns during the same time frame. Microsoft’s stock prices soared 7.6% in the trading session after the release of its impressive Q3 results on Apr. 30. Supported by the notable 10.4% year-over-year growth in Productivity and Business Processes sales to $29.9 billion, the impressive 20.8% growth in Cloud revenues to $26.8 billion, along with mid-single-digit growth in the Personal Computing segment, the company’s overall topline surged 13.3% year-over-year to $70.1 billion. Moreover, the company’s EPS for the quarter jumped 17.7% year-over-year to $3.46, exceeding the consensus estimates by 8.1%. The stock holds a consensus “Strong Buy” rating overall. Of the 46 analysts covering the stock, opinions include 37 “Strong Buys,” five “Moderate Buys,” and four “Holds.” Its mean price target of $528.88 suggests a modest 6.2% upside potential from current price levels.
