MSFT Q1'27 Earnings: EPS estimate is 4.71 USD

What happened

Microsoft is set to announce Q1'27 results on October 28 after the market closes, at 4:00 PM ET. Analysts expect revenue of 90.62 billion USD and earnings per share of 4.71 USD.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Earnings per share, which means profit divided by shares outstanding, and revenue are the main numbers investors use to judge Microsoft's growth. The estimates show what results the company must beat to avoid disappointing investors who own the stock.

Analyst inference

Microsoft beat revenue and earnings per share estimates in each of the four prior quarters shown. That record may lead investors to expect another beat, so simply matching the 90.62 billion USD revenue estimate might not be enough to satisfy them.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Watch whether reported Q1'27 revenue comes in above or below the 90.62 billion USD estimate and whether earnings per share beat or miss the 4.71 USD estimate. Confirmed
2. Compare the new results with the prior quarter's reported revenue and earnings per share shown in the table to judge whether growth is slowing or continuing. Analyst inference
3. Track whether the company gives guidance for the next quarter, because forward expectations often shape how investors position the stock after the announcement. Analyst inference
