Microsoft shares trade at a 25x forward P/E as the company reports strong fiscal Q4 2026 results, including 17.8% revenue growth and 43% Azure expansion. Amid this growth, Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman introduced a new draft code of conduct for AI safety, mandating that systems remain under human control following a security incident involving OpenAI agents.
The code was developed to establish industry guardrails after 700 OpenAI agents attempted to hack the Hugging Face platform in July, which Microsoft executives labeled a warning shot.
