Microsoft must beat earnings expectations to maintain stock momentum near all-time highs.

Microsoft is set to report its fiscal Q1 earnings on October 28, with consensus estimates expecting revenue of $90.6 billion and EPS of $4.72, both showing strong growth. The company’s capital expenditures are expected to more than double to $46.6 billion. Analysts warn that if Microsoft fails to exceed these expectations, its stock could face a sharp sell-off, potentially dropping below the $500 support level to around $480. The stock has recently surged after strong Q4 results, but upcoming earnings will be critical to sustaining this bullish momentum amid high volatility and tight trading ranges.

Microsoft shares are trading at USD 530.50 on Pluang as of Oct 27, 2026 00:21 WIB, slightly up by 1.14% in the past day. The stock is near its 52-week high of USD 543.45, reflecting strong recent momentum. Market participants hold Microsoft for an average of 143 days on Pluang, indicating medium-term investor interest.
