Diluted earnings forecasts are now revised down to between $2.24 and $2.32 a share from a previous survey of $2.28 and $2.35.<\/p><p>However, investors need not worry as the revised fiscal forecast remains less than a 2% drop on the low side, and even a $2.24 per share would still mean 3% growth over the company\u2019s three months a year prior. The Microsoft balance sheet remains strong, and buyers may seek to scale in and hold through the macroeconomic turbulence.<\/p><p>On 26 April, Microsoft reported better than expected results painting an optimistic outlook on the company\u2019s performance against the recent macroeconomic worries. The Earnings Per Share were $2.22 for the quarter with a surprise increase of $0.04 from the $2.18 estimated. The business had revenue of $49.36 billion compared to the consensus 46.05 billion.<\/p><p>The company announced a quarterly dividend payment on the 9th of June. The next Earnings and revenue reports will be released on the 26 of July 2022.
