Microsoft shares closed at $423.54 on May 18, 2026, after trading in a narrow range near recent session highs amid ongoing strength in cloud and AI segments. The company delivered a solid fiscal third-quarter earnings beat on April 29, with revenue growth supported by Azure and AI infrastructure demand, though investors continue to monitor capital expenditure trends and competitive pressures in generative AI. Analyst price targets have risen recently on expectations for sustained margin expansion, while broader tech sector flows and any intraday moves in major indices could influence the May 20 settlement. No company-specific catalysts are scheduled for the session, leaving the close sensitive to macroeconomic data and risk appetite.

If the final session is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the official closing price published for that shortened session will still be used for resolution.
If no official closing price is published for that session (for example, due to a trading halt into the close, system issue, delisting, or other disruption), the market will use the last valid on-exchange trade price of the regular session as the effective closing price.
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed company during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Yahoo Finance. The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Yahoo Finance after any adjustments have been applied.
The resolution source for this market is Yahoo Finance, specifically the Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) "Close" prices available at https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/MSFT/history, published under "Historical Prices."
