Microsoft earnings are out – here are the numbers
Microsoft's earnings announcement is scheduled, and the market is watching to see if MS will expand its capital expenditure plans like Alphabet.
In anticipation of volatility ahead of the earnings announcement, we aim to capitalize on the recent decline of -3.0% over the past 7 days, which has brought the stock down near the support level of 380. This is a time when the stock price could move significantly based on the earnings results.
I will take profits if it reaches the resistance level of 400.0, and I will cut losses if the support level of 375.0 is breached.
The RSI(14) is at 50.2, indicating that it is neither in the overbought nor oversold range. The moving averages are in a non-aligned state, and the trading volume is somewhat low at 0.68 times the 20-day average.
In a past similar case, on 2026-07-31 at 03:27:52, the MSFT stock recorded a return of 15.5%.
Achieving a return of 15.5%, significantly exceeding the forecasted return of 1.5%, we have greatly surpassed expectations. Although we set a conservative target price due to underestimating the strong upward momentum following the earnings announcement, we ultimately got the direction correct.
When strong events such as earnings announcements occur, rather than being overwhelmed by the poor trends in technical indicators (low trading volume, downward movement), we will analyze the market expectations and the quality of the earnings reported in the news more closely to set our target price flexibly.
