What are Wall Street analysts saying about Microsoft stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Microsoft stock:

1. KeyCorp analysts commented, "We remain impressed with another stellar quarter of commercial cloud momentum that climbed to a $24B annualized run-rate on a 58% y/y growth rate that accelerated for the fifth consecutive quarter. That said, it is now the cyclical (enterprise server) and product cycle (Win10 refresh) tailwinds that are contributing to a material increase to our forecast. We are raising FY18/FY19 revenue and EPS by $2B/$3B and $0.19/$0.21. Remain buyers. Key Investment Points Cyclical and secular tailwinds drove a billion-dollar beat. Total revenue increased 16% y/y to $26.8B, exceeding consensus by ~$1B driven by a combination of secular and cyclical tailwinds. Secular tailwinds benefited the commercial cloud segment; it rose 58% y/y climbing to a $24B run-rate. Commercial cloud mix has risen to 22% of total sales, up from 16% last year. Azure cloud growth remained strong, growing 93%, down slightly from 98% last quarter." (4/27/2018)
2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Microsoft has a dominant position in the desktop PC market. The company’s strategic growth investments in cloud business and AI are positives. The launch of Surface LTE and the new generation of Windows 10 PCs from its OEM partners bodes well for the company. The company has positive record of earnings surprises in recent quarters. We expect rapid adoption of Azure and Office 365 to remain the key catalysts in the near future. We believe that collaborations with Amazon, Red Hat, Symantec, Cray and PAREXEL are positive for the company's growth prospects. We also believe that Microsoft’s strategic initiatives to enter the augmented reality and virtual reality market will be positives. Estimates have been stable lately ahead of the company’s Q3 earnings release. However, its business reorganization and “cloud-first mobile-first” execution risks remain. Competition also remains stiff." (4/24/2018)
