Microsoft’s share price, trading near $420 as of May 17, 2026, reflects a modest rebound after a 13% year-to-date decline from its 2026 high near $555. The primary near-term driver is activist investor Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square stake purchase, which lifted the stock more than 3% on May 15 despite broader tech weakness. Microsoft’s April 29 fiscal third-quarter results showed revenue of $82.9 billion, up 18% year-over-year, with Azure cloud and AI services continuing to expand rapidly, yet the company flagged $190 billion in annual capital spending tied to AI infrastructure. Analyst consensus targets remain elevated around $560–$590, while the May 21 ex-dividend date and ongoing macroeconomic pressures on growth stocks set the backdrop for trader positioning ahead of the July 29 fiscal fourth-quarter update.

Only prices achieved during the regular trading hours of the primary exchange on which the listed security trades (typically 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET) will be considered. Prices occurring during pre-market or after-hours trading will not qualify.
Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
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 Pyth.
The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Pyth after any adjustments have been applied.
The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) "High" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.MSFT%2FUSD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles.
Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter. Any timestamp within the listed market time frame may be used to view the relevant candle data (e.g., https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.MSFT%2FUSD?t=1773432000)
If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high price published by the primary exchange on which the listed security trades will be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
