SUMMARY:MSFT Earnings October 2026
DESCRIPTION:Next MSFT Quarterly Earnings: Wednesday\, October 28\, 2026 at 12:00 pm ET (4:00 pm London). \nDate to be confirmed by the publisher; this is the scheduled date. \n\nConsensus\n$4.82 EPS\, $92.46 billion revenue (Q1 FY2027\, per ChartMill)\nPrior\n$90.0 billion revenue\, $4.74 adjusted EPS (Q4 FY2026\, reported July 29\, 2026)\nActual\nPending\n\nUpdated August 25\, 2026 \n\n← Previous MSFT Quarterly Earnings\nMicrosoft is expected to report its fiscal first-quarter 2027 earnings on Wednesday\, October 28\, 2026\, with results due after markets close\, typically followed by a call at around 12:00 pm ET (4:00 pm London) the next trading session or\, in some quarters\, the same evening at 5:30 pm ET. This is one of the most closely watched earnings reports in the world because Microsoft is a bellwether for cloud computing\, enterprise software and artificial intelligence spending\, and its results move not just the stock but broader technology indices in the US\, Europe and Asia. Full schedule and background: MSFT earnings dates. \nWhat is the Microsoft Q1 FY2027 earnings report?\nThis release covers Microsoft’s first fiscal quarter of its 2027 financial year\, spanning July to September 2026. Microsoft’s fiscal year runs from July to June\, so this is the first of four quarterly reports investors will see over the coming twelve months. The report is issued by Microsoft’s investor relations team and covers three main reporting segments: Productivity and Business Processes (Office\, LinkedIn\, Dynamics)\, Intelligent Cloud (Azure and server products)\, and More Personal Computing (Windows\, devices\, gaming and search advertising). Company executives\, usually chief executive Satya Nadella and chief financial officer Amy Hood\, host a live conference call and answer analyst questions shortly after the numbers are published. \nWhen is the report and how to follow it\nMicrosoft has not yet formally confirmed the date on its investor relations calendar. The October 28\, 2026 date used here follows the company’s usual pattern of reporting its fiscal first quarter in the last week of October\, roughly the same week each year. Investors should treat this date as an estimate until Microsoft publishes an official notice\, typically two to three weeks beforehand. The results and a live audio webcast are normally published on Microsoft’s investor relations website\, alongside a press release and slide deck. Financial news services including Reuters\, Bloomberg and CNBC provide live coverage\, and the earnings call transcript is usually available within hours on the investor relations site. \nWhat to expect\nA consensus estimate compiled by ChartMill from 42 Wall Street analysts points to earnings per share of $4.82 and revenue of $92.46 billion for the quarter\, according to ChartMill. That would represent year-on-year revenue growth of around 19%\, driven largely by continued expansion in Azure and other cloud services. Analysts will focus closely on Azure growth rates\, capital expenditure tied to AI data centre build-out (which reached around $41 billion in the prior quarter and is expected to exceed $50 billion in this one\, according to Investing.com)\, and adoption metrics for Microsoft 365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot. Guidance for the December quarter\, particularly around cloud margins and AI infrastructure spending\, is likely to matter to investors as much as the headline numbers\, since heavy capital spending has weighed on operating margins in recent quarters. \nMicrosoft’s most recent quarterly result\, for fiscal Q4 2026 reported on July 29\, 2026\, showed revenue of $90.0 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $4.74\, comfortably ahead of the analyst estimate of $4.24\, according to Investing.com. A full four-quarter revenue and EPS history sourced directly from Microsoft’s investor relations filings is not yet independently verifiable for every quarter at the time of writing\, so it has been omitted here rather than estimated. \nWhat the outcome could mean\n\n\n\nScenario\nLikely market read\nPlain-English meaning\n\n\n\n\nBeat on both revenue and EPS\, with strong Azure growth\nShares likely to rise\, technology and AI-linked stocks may follow\nCloud and AI demand remains strong\, supporting confidence in the broader technology sector\n\n\nIn line with consensus\, but cautious guidance on spending or margins\nMixed or muted share reaction\, possible volatility around the call\nBusiness is steady but investors want more clarity on how AI investment affects future profit\n\n\nMiss on revenue or EPS\, or weaker than expected Azure growth\nShares likely to fall\, pressure may spread to other AI and cloud-linked names\nSigns that enterprise spending on cloud and AI services is slowing\, a concern for the wider tech rally\n\n\n\nWhat It Means for Your Money\nMicrosoft is one of the largest companies in the world by market value\, so its share price movements can influence pension funds\, index trackers and workplace pension schemes even for people who have never bought a share directly. Many default pension funds and popular index funds\, such as those tracking the S&P 500\, hold a significant weighting in Microsoft\, so a sharp move in its share price after earnings can nudge the value of retirement savings up or down slightly. A strong or weak result can also ripple through to other technology and AI-related shares in the US\, Europe and Asia\, since Microsoft’s cloud spending affects suppliers of chips\, data centre equipment and cooling systems worldwide. For everyday consumers\, the report itself does not change mortgage rates\, savings rates or the price of goods\, but persistent strength in US technology earnings has in the past supported the dollar\, which can make imports slightly more expensive for UK and eurozone households when converted from dollar-priced goods. Investors holding US technology funds or exchange-traded funds may see more volatility around the results date than on an average trading day. \nRelated events\n\nMicrosoft’s fiscal Q4 2026 earnings\, reported July 29\, 2026: MSFT earnings July 2026\nOther major technology earnings reported in the same week\, including Alphabet\, Amazon and Meta\nThe Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision\, which often falls in the same week and can add to market volatility around tech earnings\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhen exactly will Microsoft report Q1 FY2027 earnings?\nThe estimated date is Wednesday\, October 28\, 2026\, but Microsoft has not yet confirmed this on its investor relations calendar\, so the date could shift by a day or two. \nWhat time will the earnings call take place?\nResults are typically released after market close\, with the earnings call usually held around 5:30 pm ET (10:30 pm London) on the reporting day\, or sometimes at 12:00 pm ET the following session\, depending on Microsoft’s final scheduling. \nWhat is the consensus forecast for this quarter?\nAccording to ChartMill\, the consensus among 42 analysts is earnings per share of $4.82 and revenue of $92.46 billion\, though this figure can change as more analysts update their estimates closer to the release. \nHow did Microsoft perform last quarter?\nIn fiscal Q4 2026\, reported on July 29\, 2026\, Microsoft posted revenue of $90.0 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $4.74\, beating the analyst estimate of $4.24. \nWhy does Microsoft’s earnings report matter to non-investors?\nBecause Microsoft is heavily weighted in many pension funds and index trackers\, and its results are seen as a signal for broader trends in cloud computing and AI spending that can affect jobs\, technology investment and market sentiment well beyond its own shareholders. \n← Previous MSFT Quarterly Earnings
