Microsoft reported strong Q3 results with GAAP EPS of $4.27 and revenue of $82.9 billion, driven by 39% growth in Azure and 123% year-over-year increase in AI annual recurring revenue. The company is aggressively investing in AI infrastructure, raising its capital expenditure guidance to $60 billion per quarter by early fiscal 2027, while continuing to return value to shareholders. Analysts remain optimistic with over 26 recent upgrades and a projected EPS growth of over 20% for fiscal 2026, making Microsoft an attractive growth-at-a-reasonable-price (GARP) investment despite recent sector challenges.
