Microsoft: Ultra-Bullish Heading Into Q1 2026 Earnings
MSFT
Published: October 27, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

I expect Microsoft Corporation's Intelligent Cloud/Azure to hit guidance ($28.6B – $28.9B for IC and 28–29% CC for Azure) given supply-constrained demand and pricing leverage, with no sign of a slowdown. AI adoption is the key catalyst, with 80% of the Fortune 500 using Azure AI Foundry and a 7x increase in tokens served by the Azure Foundry API in FY25. On the risk side, the aggressive AI buildout pressures GAAP EPS and margins. Considering the CapEx guidance of $30B for Q1 FY26, depreciation costs are already depressing gross margins.
