From Microsoft's 10-K and 10-Q filings with the SEC; its fiscal year ends in June. Each period shows the latest figure the company has reported for it, including restatements. Net margin is our own calculation from those reported figures (net income ÷ revenue); it is left blank where revenue is zero or missing. † Quarter derived from the company's year-to-date or full-year totals. Filings on SEC EDGAR →
Microsoft vs the Information Technology sector and the S&P 500
Microsoft's latest reported figures next to the median of the other 75 S&P 500 Information Technology companies and of the other 502 S&P 500 companies; each median is taken over the companies with a comparable figure (counts in the footnote). A median is the middle value, not an average, so one very large company does not move it.
Microsoft compared with the median Information Technology company and the median S&P 500 company
Microsoft: fiscal year ended June 2026, from its 10-K and 10-Q filings with the SEC. Medians computed October 20, 2026 from each company's latest annual filing (fiscal years ending between July 2025 and September 2026) and our price archive. Prices for every company, Microsoft included, are the last regular-session prices of October 19, 2026; the 1-year change compares that price with each company's last close on or before October 20, 2025. Net margin and price change are our calculations from reported figures. Each median counts only the companies with a comparable figure (sector / S&P 500): revenue growth 75/496, net margin 75/496, dividend per share 35/349, 1-year price change 67/490; the reasons below can overlap. 12 are left out of the price figure because our archive holds no comparable close for them; dividend medians are among the 35 sector and 349 S&P 500 companies reporting a per-share dividend. The S&P 500 price figure is the middle company's change, not the index's return.
About Microsoft
Microsoft Corporation is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Redmond, Washington. The company became influential in the rise of personal computers through software like Windows and has since expanded into areas such as Internet services, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, video gaming, and more. A Big Tech company, Microsoft is the largest software company by revenue, one of the most valuable public companies, and one of the most valuable brands globally.
Microsoft Corporation develops and supports software, services, devices and solutions. In its Form 10-K for fiscal year 2026, it describes itself as a technology company committed to making digital technology and AI available broadly and doing so responsibly. It sells cloud-based solutions such as Azure and Microsoft 365, operating systems, server applications, business applications, software development tools and video games; it designs and sells devices such as Surface PCs and XBOX consoles; and it sells online advertising through Bing, Copilot, Microsoft News and Microsoft Edge. Microsoft was founded in 1975, is incorporated in Washington and is headquartered in Redmond, Washington.
Microsoft's fiscal year ends on June 30: fiscal year 2026 is the year ended June 30, 2026. For fiscal year 2026 it reported three segments: Productivity and Business Processes, Intelligent Cloud, and More Personal Computing. The segment names are not new, but their contents changed in August 2024, when Microsoft moved the commercial components of Microsoft 365 into Productivity and Business Processes from fiscal year 2025 and recast prior-period segment figures, so segment figures in older 10-K filings are not directly comparable.
On September 2, 2026, Microsoft announced in a Form 8-K that from fiscal year 2027 it will report two segments instead of three: Agents and Infra, which includes the Microsoft Cloud, productivity and server licensing, and its consulting and support businesses, and Devices and Consumer, which includes Windows, XBOX and its advertising businesses. It said it will report its results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 in the new structure. The figures on this page for fiscal year 2026 use the three segments as filed in the 10-K, except where marked as restated.
Microsoft has had a strategic partnership with OpenAI since 2019, which it extended in October 2025 and April 2026. Its 10-K for fiscal year 2026 says it holds an equity-method investment representing an approximate 25% interest in OpenAI on an as-converted basis, that it recorded $24.1 billion of revenue from commercial arrangements with OpenAI in fiscal year 2026, including revenue-sharing payments, and that its other income included $6.5 billion of net gains from its OpenAI investments, mainly a dilution gain from OpenAI's October 2025 recapitalization.

Risks
Competition: Microsoft says it faces intense competition across all of its markets, from large diversified companies to small specialized firms, and that barriers to entry are low in many of its businesses. Its AI offerings compete with AI products from hyperscalers, open-source offerings and frontier model providers, some of which are also its partners.1
Cloud and AI investment: Microsoft says its investments in AI models, datacenters, components and energy are being made at significant scale and on an accelerated timeline, ahead of fully developed revenue streams, and that the revenue may not arrive when or at the level expected. It says overestimating demand could leave infrastructure underused and lead to asset impairments, while demand above its capacity limits its ability to serve customers.1
AI costs and pricing: Microsoft says the cost of AI products and services is highly uncertain, including model training and inference costs, component prices and energy costs, and that its margins could suffer if those costs stay high or if AI prices fall because of competition or commoditization.1
AI partners and OpenAI: Microsoft says its AI strategy depends partly on relationships with third parties that provide technologies, models and services, many of which also compete with it and some of which are significant Azure customers, and that the benefits it expects from them may not be realized or sustained. It names its long-term partnership with OpenAI among arrangements that carry risks such as an unsatisfactory return on investment.1
Datacenter capacity, power and supply: Microsoft says its datacenter expansion depends on land, permits, predictable energy and servers including GPUs, and that power constraints, permitting delays and community opposition could hold it back. It says there are limited suppliers for certain critical components, and that it has experienced and may continue to experience shortages of semiconductors, networking equipment, power systems and cooling equipment.1
Cybersecurity: Microsoft says threat actors, including nation-states, have gained unauthorized access to its systems and data. It cites an attack beginning in late November 2023 in which a nation-state associated actor used a password spray attack to reach Microsoft email accounts and then some source code repositories and internal systems, and says this has harmed and may continue to harm its reputation and customer relationships.1
Competition law and regulation: Microsoft says government agencies closely scrutinize it under competition laws in markets including the EU, the United Kingdom, the U.S. and China, and that enforcement actions or new market regulations could bring fines or limit its products. It also cites evolving AI rules, such as the EU AI Act, and data protection, cybersecurity and trade rules.1
IRS tax dispute: Microsoft says the IRS issued Notices of Proposed Adjustment for tax years 2004 to 2013, mainly about intercompany transfer pricing, seeking an additional tax payment of $28.9 billion plus penalties and interest. Microsoft says it disagrees and will contest them through the IRS appeals process and, if necessary, in court.1
Intellectual property claims, including AI: Microsoft says third parties claim it infringes their intellectual property, including copyright and other claims arising from AI training, inference and output, and that resolving such claims could mean royalty or licensing agreements, product changes, damages or injunctions.1
