Cloud growth is strong, but heavy spending leaves little upside
Microsoft is growing revenue 18% with Azure up over 40%, but capex nearly doubled and free cash flow is falling. At 24 times fiscal 2028 earnings, I see a 12-month target of $547, about 3% above the price.

Azure growth still high, cash lag keeps the multiple in check
Fourteen percent revenue growth and a 26 times earnings multiple on next-year profit put the stock near $548. Capacity spend still swallows cash, so the market is about right, not cheap.

Cloud rentals and Copilot seats can beat the modest growth the shares demand. Heavy building limits upside, leaving about 9% to $577. Hold.
