Prediction: Microsoft Will Be Worth $5 Trillion by 2029. Here's the Math.
Getting there from today's value takes about 10% a year. The software giant just grew earnings three times that fast.
Overview
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is worth about $3.57 trillion. For the software giant to be worth $5 trillion by the end of 2029, its value needs to climb about 40% from here.
The end of 2029 is about three and a third years away, so that climb works out to about 10% a year. That's the whole prediction, reduced to arithmetic.
Details
And what makes it worth taking seriously, I think, is how modest the required rate looks next to what the company just did. In fiscal 2026 (the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026), Microsoft grew revenue 18% to $331.8 billion and net income 31% to $133.7 billion. The fourth quarter alone brought $90 billion of revenue, up 18% year over year.
