What the analyst said

DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria reiterated a Buy rating and $550 price target on Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT).

“Microsoft reported a very strong F4Q26 with accelerating Azure growth, provided responsible CapEx guidance and assured investors free cash flow would remain positive.

This should not only change the narrative on Microsoft, but also communicate that the AI buildout is in responsible hands…We reiterate our BUY rating and $550 target, valuing shares at ~27x our FY27E earnings estimate.

MSFT remains a top pick within our coverage.”
