We lock a binary claim: Microsoft Azure-and-other-cloud-services Q4 FY26 revenue growth in constant currency (as reported in the FQ4 FY26 earnings release) is ≥39%. Confidence 78%. This is the low end of management's own 39–40% CC guide — not a stretch.

— 2 · Why it's nail-able

Q3 printed 39% CC; guide reaffirmed 39–40%; AI-driven demand sustains the floor.

Microsoft's FQ3 FY26 earnings showed Azure-and-other-cloud CC growth of 39% (40% reported), beating the 35–36% consensus. Management guided FQ4 to 39–40% CC at the CFO call (microsoft.com/en-us/investor). The floor is management's own commitment, underpinned by continued AI capacity build-out and enterprise Azure migration. Confidence at 78% (not higher) reflects the ~22% chance of a guide miss, which has happened before on timing of AI capacity availability. Resolves against the Azure CC growth figure in Microsoft's FQ4 FY26 earnings release, expected ~late Jul 2026.
