DBS analyst Sachin Mittal maintains $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ with a buy rating, and maintains the target price at $531.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 72.1% and a total average return of 20.2% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Microsoft's Q3 results did not meet expectations, yet there remains a positive stance on the Azure outlook for 2025.
The firm has acknowledged the first-quarter results of Microsoft as 'broadly stable-good,' which aligns with their expectations. Despite the second quarter's total revenue consensus being within a reasonable range and seemingly achievable, Microsoft's guidance fell short, which led to a decline in share prices after hours. The most significant shortfall in guidance was within the More Personal Computing sector. However, this sector is perceived as less critical to Microsoft's core investment thesis due to the higher-margin, more consistent annuity streams that are more central to the company's value. Nevertheless, these recent events are considered to present inconvenient obstacles in the near term.
Microsoft's Azure platform exhibited a 34% growth in constant currency during Q1, slightly surpassing expectations, attributed in part to the GenAI contribution, which accounted for up to 12 percentage points as demand continues to exceed supply. It is anticipated that Azure's growth will decelerate to 31%-32% in the upcoming quarter before picking up pace in the second half of FY25. Additionally, management anticipates that total GenAI revenue will surpass a $10B run-rate in Q2 of FY25.

星展銀行分析師Sachin Mittal維持$微軟 (MSFT.US)$買入評級，維持目標價531美元。
根據TipRanks數據顯示，該分析師近一年總勝率為72.1%，總平均回報率為20.2%。
此外，綜合報道，$微軟 (MSFT.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
微軟的第三季度業績未達預期，但對2025年Azure展望保持積極態度。
公司已確認微軟的第一季度業績爲「基本穩定良好」，與他們的預期一致。儘管第二季度的總營收預期在合理區間內且表現可達，微軟的指導卻令人失望，導致盤後股價下跌。指導中最顯著的短板在於「更個人計算」板塊。然而，這一板塊被看做對於微軟核心投資理論不那麼重要，因爲更高利潤、更連續的年金流更核心於公司的價值。儘管如此，這些最近事件被認爲會在短期內帶來不便的障礙。
微軟的Azure平台在第一季度貨幣持續增長34%，略高於預期，部分歸因於GenAI的貢獻，佔比多達12個百分點，需求持續超過供應。預計Azure的增長將在接下來的一季度放緩至31%-32%，然後在FY25的下半年加速。此外，管理層預計GenAI總收入將在FY25第二季度超過一百億美元的年化營收水平。
