Microsoft Could Hit $1,000 by 2031 If AI Growth Keeps Accelerating

Microsoft posted a record $331 billion in annual revenue with Azure topping $100 billion, yet the stock has been mostly flat. The piece outlines a scenario where MSFT could reach $1,000 by August 2031 if Azure sustains 30%+ growth, Copilot scales beyond 30 million paid seats, and capital expenditures normalize. Consensus price targets sit around $569.45, while its model shows a base of $609.58 with bull and bear cases of $709.58 and $520.81 respectively; achieving $1,000 would require about 95% upside or a large multiple expansion tied to earnings growth. Risks include AI demand slowdown and potential overcapacity from AI infrastructure spending. It’s a long-range, sponsor-linked analysis from 24/7 Wall St.
