Microsoft stock spikes after earnings forecast beats expectations

Microsoft Corp. shares jumped to a 4% gain in after-hours trading Thursday after the tech giant supplied its forecast for the first quarter of the 2019 fiscal year. Shares had been up 1% after the company's fiscal fourth-quarter earnings report showed stronger-than-expected profit and sales. Microsoft provided revenue guidance for its different segments on the conference call, predicting $9.25 billion to $9.45 billion for "Productivity and Business Processes"; $8.15 billion to $8.35 billion for "Intelligent Cloud"; and $9.95 billion to $10.25 billion in "More Personal Computing." In total, that suggests first-quarter revenue of $27.35 billion to $28.05 billion. Analysts on average were projecting revenue of $27.4 billion, according to FactSet. Microsoft did not give an earnings projection nor a full-year forecast, though Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood said cost of goods sold in the first quarter was expected to be $9.5 billion to $9.7 billion, operating expenses would be $9.2 billion to $9.3 billion, and income and expense is expected to be about $100 million to the negative side.
