Optional columns available on request: GAAP EPS, Operating Income ($B), Operating Margin %
Historical earnings data is sourced from Yahoo Finance and official Microsoft Investor Relations press releases. Operating income and operating margin are reported at the consolidated level and are available in Microsoft's Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC following each quarterly report.
Understanding MSFT EPS: GAAP vs. Non-GAAP
Earnings per share (EPS) measures how much profit Microsoft generated for each outstanding share of its stock. Microsoft reports both GAAP EPS (calculated under standard accounting rules, including stock-based compensation and restructuring charges) and non-GAAP EPS (which excludes stock-based compensation and certain other items).
Analysts and investors typically focus on non-GAAP EPS when assessing whether Microsoft beat or missed expectations. This is the figure shown as the consensus estimate in the table above. When reviewing MSFT earnings results, confirm which EPS figure is being referenced before drawing conclusions about performance.
Microsoft Historical Earnings Beat Rate
Microsoft has beaten the non-GAAP EPS consensus estimate in [X] of the last [Y] quarters, with an average positive earnings surprise (the percentage difference between actual results and consensus) of approximately [Z]%. This pattern reflects Microsoft's tendency to issue conservative forward guidance that analysts subsequently revise upward heading into each report. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and the beat rate does not guarantee future outperformance against consensus estimates.
Microsoft Earnings Call: Schedule and How to Watch
Earnings Call Details Date: [Same as earnings release date. Update each quarter.] Time: Approximately 5:00–5:30 PM ET (AMC) Format: Live webcast + phone dial-in Access: investor.microsoft.com
Update this callout with the confirmed call time once Microsoft publishes it on the IR page.
Microsoft hosts a live earnings conference call following each quarterly release, led by CEO Satya Nadella with strategic commentary on Azure growth, AI investments, and overall business performance. CFO Amy Hood follows with segment-level financial results and guidance for the upcoming quarter.
How to Watch the Microsoft Earnings Call Live
- Go to Microsoft Investor Relations at investor.microsoft.com

- Join at the confirmed start time ET on earnings day. No registration is required for the live listen-only webcast.

The earnings call transcript is typically published on investor.microsoft.com within 24 hours of the call and is also available on platforms such as Seeking Alpha.
Note: Microsoft typically publishes its earnings press release at approximately 4:00–4:30 PM ET, roughly 30 to 60 minutes before the conference call begins. The press release and the call are separate events; the call provides management commentary and a Q&A session with analysts that the press release does not include.
MSFT Earnings Estimates and Management Guidance
Analysts expect Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) to report non-GAAP EPS of $[X.XX] for [Quarter FY], based on a consensus of [XX] analysts as of [DATE]. Two distinct forward-looking figures are tracked in this section: the analyst consensus estimate and the guidance Microsoft management issued on the most recent earnings call. These figures serve different purposes, and confusing them is one of the most common errors on financial data sites.
Analyst Consensus Estimates for Next Quarter
The consensus estimate is the average of EPS and revenue forecasts compiled from Wall Street analysts who cover Microsoft; it is the benchmark against which actual results are measured to determine whether Microsoft beat or missed expectations.
For informational purposes only. Estimates are subject to revision and do not constitute financial advice.
| Metric | Consensus Estimate | Number of Analysts | Estimate Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-GAAP EPS | $[X.XX] | [XX] | $[X.XX] – $[X.XX] |
| Revenue ($B) | $[XX.X]B | [XX] | $[XX.X]B – $[XX.X]B |
Estimates as of [DATE]. Subject to revision as the earnings date approaches. Source: Yahoo Finance analyst estimates (MSFT).
Some traders also track the informal "whisper number," an unofficial EPS expectation that often sits above the published consensus, available on sites like EarningsWhispers.com. A higher-than-expected EPS result also reduces Microsoft's forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, a key valuation metric for investors assessing entry points.
Microsoft Management Guidance
Management guidance refers to Microsoft's own forward forecast, issued by CFO Amy Hood on each earnings call, and is distinct from external analyst consensus estimates. Guidance figures represent management's expectations for the upcoming quarter and are typically presented as ranges rather than precise targets.
| Metric | Guidance Range | Prior Quarter Actual |
|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue ($B) | $[XX.X] – $[XX.X]B | $[XX.X]B |
| Intelligent Cloud Revenue ($B) | $[XX.X] – $[XX.X]B | $[XX.X]B |
| Productivity & Business Processes Revenue ($B) | $[XX.X] – $[XX.X]B | $[XX.X]B |
| More Personal Computing Revenue ($B) | $[X.X] – $[X.X]B | $[X.X]B |
| Operating Income ($B) | $[XX.X] – $[XX.X]B | $[XX.X]B |
Management Guidance: issued [DATE] earnings call, per CFO Amy Hood. Guidance figures are forward-looking statements and subject to change. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
The gap between management guidance and analyst consensus often narrows as the quarter progresses, as analysts typically revise their estimates upward from the initial guidance baseline. The guidance figures above compare to the consensus estimates in the table above; the spread between the two is a reference point analysts and traders watch in the weeks before each report.
How MSFT Earnings Affect the Stock Price
For informational purposes only. Not financial advice. Past stock price reactions to earnings do not predict future performance.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) reports earnings after market close (AMC), with results typically published between 4:00 and 4:30 PM Eastern Time, after regular NASDAQ trading hours end at 4:00 PM ET. Because the results arrive outside the regular session, the initial market reaction to Microsoft's quarterly earnings occurs in after-hours trading (4:00–8:00 PM ET), where lower liquidity can produce more volatile price moves than during the standard session.
The magnitude of the after-hours price move is typically driven by the earnings surprise: how much Microsoft's actual results differ from the analyst consensus estimate. A larger positive earnings surprise (actual EPS significantly above consensus) has historically been associated with stronger after-hours gains. A miss on EPS, or guidance below analyst expectations for the following quarter, has historically been associated with after-hours declines, regardless of performance on other metrics.
After-hours price changes do not always persist to the next morning's open. Pre-market trading (4:00–9:30 AM ET the following morning) and the regular session open often show different prices than the after-hours print, as institutional traders and market makers reassess positions overnight. For historical after-hours price reactions by quarter, see the After-Hours % column in the earnings history table above.
Traders tracking options positions around earnings can monitor the options-implied expected move on platforms such as tastytrade or EarningsWhispers.com. After-hours trading (4:00–8:00 PM ET) and pre-market trading (4:00–9:30 AM ET the following morning) both reflect extended-hours reactions to earnings but at different liquidity levels.
Microsoft Fiscal Year: Earnings Calendar Explained
Microsoft's fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30, which means it does not align with the standard calendar year. Microsoft's fiscal year 2026 (FY2026), for example, runs from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.
Microsoft's fiscal Q1 covers July through September, so when earnings dates show "Q1 FY2026," that refers to the quarter ending September 30, 2025, not January through March as calendar-year investors might expect. This offset creates systematic confusion when investors see quarterly labels on earnings tables without understanding the underlying calendar structure. It is also why the msft earnings date 2026 calendar does not follow a simple January–December sequence: Q1 FY2026 reported in October 2025, and Q4 FY2026 will report in July 2026.
The table below maps each fiscal quarter to its calendar months, approximate earnings report date, and SEC filing type.
| Fiscal Quarter | Calendar Months | Approx. Report Date | SEC Filing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 FY[YEAR] | July – September | Late October | Form 10-Q |
| Q2 FY[YEAR] | October – December | Late January | Form 10-Q |
| Q3 FY[YEAR] | January – March | Late April | Form 10-Q |
| Q4 FY[YEAR] | April – June | Late July | Form 10-K (Annual) |
Microsoft files a Form 10-Q (the quarterly regulatory filing submitted to the SEC) following Q1, Q2, and Q3. A Form 10-K annual report is filed following Q4. All filings are publicly accessible via SEC EDGAR.
Microsoft labels its fiscal year by the year in which it ends: FY2026 ends June 30, 2026.
Microsoft Revenue Breakdown by Segment
Microsoft reports revenue across three business segments: Intelligent Cloud, Productivity and Business Processes, and More Personal Computing.
The Intelligent Cloud segment, which includes Microsoft Azure, SQL Server, Windows Server, and GitHub, receives the most investor attention each quarter. Azure cloud revenue growth rate, reported as a year-over-year (YoY) percentage rather than an absolute dollar figure, is widely considered the single most important metric in Microsoft's earnings report. Microsoft does not disclose standalone Azure revenue in absolute dollar terms; the figure disclosed each quarter is Azure's growth rate within the Intelligent Cloud segment. Strong Azure growth signals continued enterprise adoption of Microsoft's cloud and AI infrastructure. A deceleration in Azure growth rate can trigger significant after-hours stock price movement in quarters where other segment metrics beat the consensus estimate.
Productivity and Business Processes includes Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), LinkedIn, and Dynamics 365. This segment benefits from recurring subscription revenue across hundreds of millions of users. More Personal Computing covers Windows, Xbox, Surface devices, and Bing Search advertising. This segment has declined as a proportion of total revenue as cloud growth has accelerated.
| Quarter | Intelligent Cloud ($B) | Azure Growth YoY % | Productivity & Business Processes ($B) | More Personal Computing ($B) | Total Revenue ($B) | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Q1 FY2026 | $[XX.X] | [XX]% | $[XX.X] | $[XX.X] | $[XX.X] | | Q4 FY2025 | $[XX.X] | [XX]% | $[XX.X] | $[XX.X] | $[XX.X] | | Q3 FY2025 | $[XX.X] | [XX]% | $[XX.X] | $[XX.X] | $[XX.X] | | Q2 FY2025 | $[XX.X] | [XX]% | $[XX.X] | $[XX.X] | $[XX.X] | | Q1 FY2025 | $[XX.X] | [XX]% | $[XX.X] | $[XX.X] | $[XX.X] | | Q4 FY2024 | $[XX.X] | [XX]% | $[XX.X] | $[XX.X] | $[XX.X] |

Operating margin (operating income as a percentage of total revenue) is reported at the consolidated level and has expanded as the higher-margin cloud segments grow as a share of total revenue.
Big Tech Earnings Context: Microsoft vs. Meta and Peers
Microsoft's earnings window overlaps with other major technology companies each quarter. Investors who track the
meta earnings report alongside the msft stock earnings date gain a broader read on enterprise and digital advertising conditions simultaneously. Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) typically reports in the same week as Microsoft in late October, late January, late April, and late July.
If you are asking when does Meta report earnings, the schedule mirrors Microsoft's cadence closely: Meta's fiscal year aligns with the calendar year and its quarterly reports fall in approximately the same windows as the msft earnings date 2026 schedule. The meta earnings report and the MSFT earnings report in any given week together provide a combined signal on cloud infrastructure spending (from Microsoft) and digital advertising demand (from Meta), which analysts use as complementary data points for assessing broader technology sector health.
