Microsoft's fiscal 2026 results, with revenue reaching $331.8 billion (up 18%) and Azure growth accelerating to 43%, have anchored recent trader sentiment, driving a sharp recovery from June lows near $350 to intraday levels above $518 as of September 30. The stock posted its strongest quarterly gain since 1991 amid broad AI demand, with Microsoft Cloud revenue at $59.3 billion and commercial backlog expanding 84% to $678 billion. This performance contrasts with a more modest year-to-date gain of roughly 6% versus the S&P 500, reflecting ongoing focus on AI monetization versus infrastructure spending. With shares trading at about 28 times trailing earnings and analyst consensus targets near $577, attention now turns to the October 28 earnings release for clarity on constant-currency Azure guidance and capacity expansion.
This market will resolve to "Yes" if, at any point after market creation and during September 2026, any 1-minute candle for Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) has a final "High" or "Low" price equal to or beyond (above for ↑ High Prices, below for ↓ Low Prices) the listed price. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Only prices achieved during the regular trading hours of the primary exchange on which the listed security trades (typically 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET) will be considered. Prices occurring during pre-market or after-hours trading will not qualify. Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding. In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed company during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth. The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Pyth after any adjustments have been applied. The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) "High" and "Low" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.MSFT%2FUSD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles. Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter. Any timestamp within the listed market time frame may be used to view the relevant candle data (e.g., https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.MSFT%2FUSD?t=1773432000) If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high/low price published by the primary exchange on which the listed security trades will be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
