Piper Sandler raised its price target for Microsoft to $610 from $550, highlighting the impact of the new E7 enterprise licensing plan and AI tools like Copilot and Cowork. The E7 plan, launched two months ago, has already attracted millions of seats from hundreds of enterprise customers, with EY adopting it for 400,000 employees. Piper estimates that a 10% shift from E5 to E7 could add $2 billion in annual revenue, with AI consumption revenue also expected to reach $2 billion by fiscal 2028. Microsoft's strong Q4 2026 results, including 43% Azure growth and 30 million Copilot seats, support this bullish outlook, though rising capital expenditures and AI investment risks remain. Investors should watch adoption rates of E7 and AI usage growth as key indicators.
