signal brief
Microsoft's fiscal Q4 2026 results (10-K filed 2026-07-29) show FY2026 revenue of $245.1B and net income of $88.1B, with The Next Platform reporting Q4 revenue of ~$90B (+17.7% YoY) and net income of $35.77B (+31.3%). The key AI-infra datum: FY2026 capex was $145.3B, ~two-thirds for CPU/GPU clusters, and Microsoft reaffirmed FY2027 capex at $190B — a ~31% increase YoY and one of the largest hyperscaler buildouts. The company said it is 'standing pat' with this number while peers raise further, but the absolute level sustains record demand for accelerators, networking, and foundry capacity. Azure revenue is estimated at $31.91B, up 64% YoY, and Copilot seats rose from 20M to 30M in three months, indicating strong inference demand. CNBC confirms the market's positive reaction: MSFT added $450B in market cap in a single day, the stock's largest gain ever, with shares trading ~22.6x forward earnings. This points to continued strong procurement from NVIDIA, AMD, TSMC, Marvell, and Avago (Broadcom) — key suppliers for compute clusters, custom silicon, and networking.
