Microsoft seen posting sharp profit decline

Microsoft Corp. is expected to post declines in profit and sales for its fiscal fourth quarter next Thursday, as the software giant contends with flagging sales of personal computers bundled with its technology.

Wall Street analysts on average estimate that Microsoft will post earnings of 36 cents a share for the period ending in June, on $14.38 billion in revenue, according to data from Thomson Reuters.

That compares to earnings of 46 cents a share and $15.84 billion in revenue in the same period a year earlier.

The shares have risen roughly 20% in the year to date, slightly ahead of the Nasdaq Composite Index, and were trading at $24.24 Friday afternoon.

Microsoft is facing increasing competition on all sides, which in my opinion is a good thing.

ElementX6151d ago (Edited 6148d ago )

Increasing competition? From who? Google and their Chrome OS? It's doubtful that Chrome will ever compete with Windows. It's basically for Netbooks, which are pretty much useless anyway. Do you think every hardware/software manufacturer will drop everything and support Chrome? It isn't going to change the world. Manufacturers aren't going to support an open source product like Chrome. Look at Linux. How many games support Linux? How about hardware? You have to download user created stuff, compile it, and pray that it works. I took a Linux class last year and installing drivers was a pain. I don't think the majority of people want to deal with the hassle.

um, just one correction: the Google Chrome OS is not only for netbooks. It is just being debuted on them.

The report will come after a month in which Microsoft saw some encouraging signs from its recently-revamped Internet search service, called Bing. According to data from comScore Inc., Bing helped Microsoft win some search market share from "

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde28d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy29d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12528d ago (Edited 28d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
