Microsoft’s share price, trading near $483 as of August 21, 2026, reflects strong post-earnings momentum from fiscal Q4 results reported July 29, offset by recent volatility. Revenue reached $90 billion (up 18% year-over-year), Azure grew 43% to surpass $100 billion in annual run rate for the first time, and commercial backlog expanded 84% to $678 billion, underscoring contracted AI demand and 30 million-plus paid Microsoft 365 Copilot seats. Heavy calendar-2026 capital expenditures near $175 billion continue to pressure free cash flow, contributing to an August pullback from highs above $500. Analyst consensus remains a Strong Buy with average targets around $555, implying roughly 15% upside. The week of August 24 features no major company-specific catalysts beyond ongoing sector sentiment and any Treasury yield movements that could influence tech valuations.

Only prices achieved during the regular trading hours of the primary exchange on which the listed security trades (typically 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET) will be considered. Prices occurring during pre-market or after-hours trading will not qualify.
Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed company during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth.
The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Pyth after any adjustments have been applied.
The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) "High" and "Low" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.MSFT%2FUSD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles.
Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter. Any timestamp within the listed market time frame may be used to view the relevant candle data (e.g., https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.MSFT%2FUSD?t=1773432000)
If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high/low price published by the primary exchange on which the listed security trades will be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
