Dividend rises to USD 0.98

According to Microsoft Source on September 15, 2026, the board declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.98 per share, up USD 0.07 or 8 percent from the previous quarter.

The dividend is payable on December 10, 2026, to shareholders of record on November 19, 2026. The same date is the ex-dividend date, while Microsoft's annual shareholders meeting is scheduled for December 8, 2026.

Fiscal 2026 adds scale

Microsoft reported fiscal 2026 revenue of USD 331.8 billion and operating income of USD 155.2 billion. The figures compare with USD 281.7 billion of revenue and USD 128.5 billion of operating income in fiscal 2025, according to Seeking Alpha in its September 2, 2026 filing report.

That comparison puts the latest annual revenue increase at 17.79 percent, while diluted earnings per share rose to USD 17.95 from USD 13.64. The filing also shows Microsoft's updated fiscal 2027 reporting structure, which separates Agents and Infra from Devices and Consumer.

Stifel turns more constructive

As CNBC reported on September 23, 2026, Stifel upgraded Microsoft to Buy from Hold and raised its price target to USD 575 from USD 530. The analysts cited stronger confidence in Azure's growth and less concern about margin pressure.

The counter-factor is capital intensity. CNBC reported that analysts continued to debate whether Microsoft's artificial intelligence infrastructure spending will generate sufficient returns, even as Azure revenue growth reached 43 percent in the latest fiscal quarter.
