Microsoft (MSFT) will release its fiscal 2027 first-quarter earnings on Oct. 28. The event matters to Microsoft stock fans because the results could clarify whether its massive artificial intelligence (AI) investments are paying off.
Microsoft has been spending heavily on AI infrastructure and technology, raising investor concerns about rising costs and pressure on short-term profits. However, the company’s recent performance suggests these investments are accelerating cloud growth and strengthening its long-term prospects. This momentum is expected to continue into fiscal Q1 2027.
