Polymarket sees 93% probability of an MSFT beat on adjusted EPS of $4.21. Microsoft has beaten EPS consensus in 17 of the last 18 quarters; Q3 FY2026 delivered $4.27 vs. $4.06 expected. Azure Cloud growth (separate open prediction: >30% YoY), GitHub Copilot monetization, and Azure OpenAI services drive earnings. Revenue consensus: ~$86.7B. The market prices a very high beat probability as MSFT structurally benefits from AI infrastructure investment.

According to research, Anthropic has confidentially filed an S-1 with the SEC and is working with leading investment banks. Polymarket shows 46% probability for an IPO launch by September 2026, implying a higher probability for the full year. 2026 is tracking as a record year for technology IPOs (SpaceX IPO in June 2026 was the largest ever). Anthropic was most recently valued at approx. $61B. Counter-case: Anthropic may remain private; an IPO process can easily slip into 2027. Polymarket anchor (46% by Sept.) implies approx. 52% for December; slight upward deviation as the window is larger.

Nvidia closed Q1 FY2027 (May 2026) with Non-GAAP EPS of $1.87, above the $1.70 consensus, on revenue of $81.6B (+85% YoY). For Q2 FY2027, consensus EPS is approx. $2.01; FY2027 annual EPS growth expected +32.8% to ~$5.34. AI infrastructure capex by hyperscalers (Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon) is at record levels—each of the four has announced $60–90B capex for 2026. Polymarket most recently showed near-100% beat probability for Nvidia earnings. Nvidia has beaten consensus for at least eight consecutive quarters.
