BofA證券分析師Brad Sills維持微軟公司(NASDAQ: MSFT)的買入評級,並將價格目標從480美元上調至510美元。
Microsoft will publish the fiscal year 2024 fourth-quarter financial results after the close of the market on Tuesday, July 30, 2024.
微軟將於2024財年第四季度收盤後發佈業績,即2024年7月30日星期二。

Sills認爲,可持續的Azure強勢、Office E3/E5的高端產品組合、早期的Microsoft Copilot吸引力以及正常化的PC/Windows購買環境將導致第四季度營業收入預計640億美元增長1%。

In addition, Sills sees a $100 million upside to the PBP segment revenue estimate for $20 billion (+9% y/y) from a modest Commercial Office upside on a conservative outlook for 14% growth.
此外,Sills認爲,在對$200億(+9% y/y)的PBP業務收入的估計中,商業辦公室有望增加10000萬美元收入,由於保守的14%增長預期,這比預期高一些。
The analyst writes that office upside is likely to come from ASP growth (6% y/y, consistent with third-quarter), given partner commentary on sustained strength in the premium E5 cycle and early traction with Copilot upsell deals.
分析師寫道,辦公室增長預計可能來自ASP增長(6% y/y,與第三季度一致),由於合作伙伴對高端E5週期的持續強勢表現和Copilot推銷協議的早期經驗的評價。
In an upside case, the Office business could be on track to achieve 20% growth by the first quarter of FY26.
在增長的情況下,Office業務可以在FY26第一季度實現20%的增長。
Overall, the analyst forecasts a reiterated outlook for double-digit revenue growth and margin to be down 100bps on ramping capex, driving the cost of sales higher.
