Key Highlights:
Microsoft Share Price Steady on April 30, Premarket Down Ahead of Q3 Earnings
Microsoft share price closed unchanged at 394.04 USD on April 30, 2025, as markets awaited the company’s Q3 earnings call scheduled for 5:30 PM ET. The stock saw modest intraday movements but lacked direction, reflecting investor hesitation ahead of results.
In premarket trading, Microsoft shares declined to 390.23 USD, down 0.97 percent, as of 8:59 AM ET. The dip signals rising anxiety over whether Microsoft’s cloud and AI segments can sustain recent growth rates amid global macro concerns.
Expectations High for Q3 2025 Report
With a market cap of 2.91 trillion USD and a P/E ratio of 31.74, Microsoft continues to be viewed as one of the most stable megacap tech plays. Yet, with its shares trading close to the higher end of the 52-week range, expectations are elevated.
- Analysts are forecasting strong results from Azure and Microsoft 365
- Focus areas include commercial cloud margins and enterprise software renewals
- Any softness in AI monetization or cloud bookings may weigh on near-term sentiment
