Microsoft shares have dropped nearly 25% over the past year despite strong Q3 FY26 results showing 18.3% revenue growth and 40% Azure expansion. The company’s AI business revenue doubled year-over-year, supported by a $250 billion Azure investment from OpenAI, in which Microsoft holds a significant stake. Analysts remain overwhelmingly positive, with a 33% upside target of $486 over the next 12 months, driven by continued AI monetization and cloud growth. Risks include high AI-related capital spending and investment losses, but the long-term outlook projects steady gains through 2030 if growth sustains.
