> UBS set the highest target at $675. Azure and other cloud services revenue grew 43% in Microsoft’s June quarter.

At least seven analysts raised their price targets for Microsoft shares to $600-$675 ahead of the company’s Oct. 28 fiscal 2027 first-quarter results, as investors await an update on its cloud business.

UBS analyst Karl Keirstead raised his target to $675 from $525 and maintained a Buy rating. Jefferies lifted its target to $650 from $575 and also kept a Buy rating. Citi analyst Tyler Radke raised his target to $636 from $600, while TD Cowen moved to $625 from $540; both retained Buy ratings.

Mizuho analyst Gregg Moskowitz raised his target to $600 from $510 and kept an Outperform rating. StoneX analyst Yi Fu Lee also raised his target to $600. Barclays analyst Raimo Lenschow’s target increased to $600 from $512.

UBS set the highest target, followed by Jefferies, Citi and TD Cowen. Mizuho, StoneX and Barclays each set a $600 target. Four firms maintained Buy ratings, and Mizuho kept its Outperform rating.

The targets apply to Microsoft’s Nasdaq-listed common shares and are analyst estimates, not company guidance.

Microsoft-linked derivatives are separate from its common shares. Binance’s MSFTUSDT is a USDT-settled perpetual contract that tracks Microsoft’s share price and trades around the clock. The analyst targets describe the stock and should not be read as targets for the derivatives contract.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Microsoft reported revenue of $90.0 billion, up 18% year over year. Microsoft Cloud revenue increased 27% to $59.3 billion, while Azure and other cloud services revenue grew 43%. The cloud growth rates exceeded the company’s overall revenue growth for the quarter.

“Azure revenue surpassed $100 billion for the first time,” Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella said after the June quarter.

Microsoft will release its fiscal 2027 first-quarter results after the market closes Oct. 28. The conference call is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. ET (21:30 UTC).
