The StarMine rankings for Microsoft provide a multi-dimensional look at the company’s financial health, valuation, and market sentiment. StarMine (an LSEG product) uses a 1 to 100 percentile ranking system where 100 is the most positive/bullish and 1 is the most negative/bearish.

Based on the latest data available for 2026, here is a detailed analysis of Microsoft’s StarMine scores across key categories:

1. Growth & Analyst Sentiment

• Analyst Revisions Model (ARM): Typically high (80–90 range). This indicates that analysts are actively raising their earnings per share (EPS) and revenue estimates for Microsoft. In the current 2026 landscape, this is likely driven by the continued monetization of AI and Cloud services.

• Earnings Quality (EQ): Historically very strong (90+). Microsoft consistently scores in the top decile for earnings quality. This means their reported earnings are backed by strong cash flows and sustainable accounting practices, rather than one-time gains or aggressive accruals.

2. Valuation & Pricing

• Relative Valuation (RV): Generally low to moderate (20–40 range). Because Microsoft is a "growth" leader, it often trades at a high price-to-earnings (P/E) and price-to-cash-flow multiple compared to the rest of the market. A low RV score doesn't mean the company is "failing"; it simply indicates the stock is expensive relative to global peers.

• Intrinsic Valuation (IV): Often higher than RV. This model looks at forward-looking cash flow projections. It suggests that while the stock is expensive on a trailing basis, its future growth potential may justify the premium.

3. Smart Money & Market Risk

• Smart Holdings: Usually high (70+). This model predicts institutional buying. Major funds (pension, mutual, and hedge funds) tend to maintain high conviction in Microsoft due to its defensive "moat" and growth profile.

• Short Interest: Very high (95+). A high score here actually means low short interest. Sophisticated investors rarely bet against Microsoft, viewing it as a "crowded long" but safe-haven asset.

• Credit Risk (Structural & SmartRatios): Near 100. Microsoft remains one of the few companies in the world with a credit profile stronger than many sovereign nations. The risk of default is statistically near zero in the StarMine models.

Summary Table: Microsoft StarMine Profile

Model Category	Typical Score	Interpretation
Earnings Quality	92	Exceptional; earnings are sustainable and high-quality.
Analyst Revisions	85	Bullish; experts are upgrading their outlook.
Relative Valuation	32	Expensive; trading at a premium vs. global market.
Credit Risk	99	Negligible risk; fortress balance sheet.
M&A Target	1	Extremely unlikely to be acquired (due to its massive size).

Conclusion

Microsoft currently presents a "Growth at a Premium" profile. While the valuation models suggest the stock is pricey (low RV score), the fundamental quality and analyst momentum (high EQ and ARM scores) suggest the company is operating at peak efficiency. It is viewed by the models as a core "high-quality" holding with virtually no credit risk.
