Microsoft reports fiscal year 2027 first-quarter results after the market close on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, with the earnings conference call webcast at 2:30 p.m. Pacific Time (announced by Microsoft: https://finviz.com/news/400058/microsoft-announces-quarterly-earnings-release-date).

Each answer resolves independently. An answer resolves YES if a Microsoft executive (e.g. Satya Nadella, Amy Hood, or the head of investor relations) says that word out loud at any point on the call, in prepared remarks or in the Q&A. Otherwise it resolves NO.

Rules

  • Only Microsoft executives count. Words said only by analysts, or shown only on slides or in the press release, do not count.

  • Plurals and possessives count ("OpenAI's", "agents", "tariffs"). Other word forms do not ("agentic" is not "agent"). A word inside a longer name still counts if it is said as that word ("Azure OpenAI" counts for OpenAI; "Copilot Studio" counts for Copilot).

  • "MAI" means Microsoft's in-house model family, said as "M-A-I" or "MAI".

  • "Maia" means Microsoft's AI accelerator chip.

Source: the transcript and replay on Microsoft's investor relations site (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/investor), cross-checked against a full public transcript (Motley Fool, Seeking Alpha or similar). If transcripts disagree, the replay audio wins.

If the call is postponed past November 6, 2026, the market resolves N/A. Trading closes just before the webcast starts. I'll resolve within a few days of the call.

My rough numbers going in. All answers start at 50%, and I won't trade here for a week.

  • Copilot, agent, GitHub, OpenAI: ~90%+. Copilot seat counts and the OpenAI accounting line come up every quarter. Last quarter's EPS was even quoted "adjusted for OpenAI investment impacts".

  • Anthropic: ~75%. Microsoft booked a $3.2B gain on its Anthropic stake last quarter, and Anthropic is about to file publicly for its IPO, so someone will probably ask. Claude: ~40%, since the investment gets named more often than the model.

  • Fairwater ~55%, MAI ~45%, Maia ~40%, quantum ~25%, superintelligence ~25%, Activision ~25%, nuclear ~12%, tariff ~10%, Gemini ~7%, Iran ~4%.

What would move me: an analyst preview saying the Anthropic gain will be broken out again (Anthropic up). Or a quiet quarter for Microsoft's own chips (Maia/MAI down).
