  • Microsoft (MSFT) Stock: Analysts Stay Bullish as Azure, AI Drive Long-Term Target Despite Spending
    July 1, 2026, 3:19 AM EDT. Microsoft stock ended at $373.02 on June 30, 2026, slipping even as Azure cloud revenue jumped 39% and the company's annual AI run-rate hit $26 billion. Spending hit $37.5 billion, raising investor concerns, but analysts still see room to run. The average 12-month target is $561, pointing to a 50% upside. Some say the market is mispricing Microsoft as a hardware play, even though the core business is enterprise software and AI. Microsoft's 27% OpenAI stake is valued at $135 billion and adds to its AI story. Wall Street consensus calls for the stock to reach $470 in 2026, $545 in 2027, and $855 by 2030, showing faith that AI growth will offset near-term costs.
