Microsoft's Azure cloud service surpassed $100 billion in annual revenue, and its AI tool Copilot reached over 30 million paid seats, driving a 17.8% revenue increase and 31.3% net income growth in FY2026. Despite these gains, Microsoft shares remain nearly flat due to heavy AI infrastructure spending, raising investor concerns about return on investment. Analysts generally remain bullish, with an average price target around $570, but some see potential for the stock to reach $700 by 2027 if Azure growth sustains above 40%, Copilot usage expands, and AI investments translate into free cash flow. The main risk is that AI spending fails to deliver expected returns, which could pressure the stock multiple.
