Airbus SE (EPA: AIR) confirms FY 2026 guidance at H1 results (July 29, 2026): ≥820 commercial deliveries and EBIT Adjusted ≥ EUR 7.0bn

Airbus delivered 351 commercial aircraft in H1 2026 (full-year target: 870) and maintained its guidance after a weak Q1. The H1 analyst call is scheduled for July 29, 2026, 19:30 CEST. The threshold (≥820 deliveries, ≥€7.0bn EBIT) is deliberately set below official guidance (870/€7.5bn) given the small but non-trivial risk of a downgrade driven by Pratt & Whitney engine supply constraints.

Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE: PG) beats Q4 FY2026 adjusted Non-GAAP EPS consensus of approx. $1.42 per share (July 29, 2026, before market open)

P&G (FY ends June 30) reports Q4 FY2026 before market open on July 29. Analyst consensus: $1.42 EPS (-4.1% YoY), revenue ~$21.41B (+2.5% YoY). No Polymarket market found; historical beat rate ~80–85% of quarters (analysts consistently set conservative estimates). The YoY EPS decline reflects higher input costs (partly Hormuz-driven) and FX headwinds; operating margin supported by ongoing productivity programs. Premium brands (Pampers, Tide, Gillette, SK-II) maintain pricing power. Volume flex remains modestly negative but sufficient for a slight EPS beat. The $1.42 benchmark appears conservatively set.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) beats the Q4 FY2026 adjusted Non-GAAP EPS consensus of approx. $3.15 per share (July 29, 2026)

Microsoft reports its Q4 FY2026 results (April–June 2026 quarter) on July 29, 2026. Adjusted Non-GAAP EPS consensus stands at approx. $3.15 (FY2025 Q4: $3.11, +1.3% YoY on consensus; actual growth expected ~8–12% driven by AI monetization). MSFT has beaten analyst consensus in over 90% of all quarters since 2018. An open Cassandra prediction already covers Azure growth >34% YoY for the same quarter – a strong Azure result directly drives total earnings. Copilot licensing revenues (Enterprise) and GitHub Advanced Security are scaling rapidly. No Polymarket market found for MSFT Q4 FY2026 EPS.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) reports Azure cloud revenue growth above 30% YoY in Q4 FY2026 (July 29, 2026)

Microsoft reports Q4 FY2026 on July 29 (after close). Azure has delivered consistent 33–35% YoY growth over the past six quarters, driven by AI workloads (Copilot, Azure OpenAI) and enterprise migration. Our 30% threshold sits below recent trajectory; analysts broadly expect Intelligent Cloud segment revenue (primary driver: Azure) growth of ~32–35% YoY in Q4 FY2026. Even a moderate deceleration vs. Q3 still exceeds the threshold. The existing open EPS prediction ($4.04 Non-GAAP) covers overall performance; this prediction specifically measures Azure cloud growth.

Airbus SE (EPA: AIR) achieves an adjusted EBIT margin above 6.0% at group level in H1-2026 results (29 July 2026, 7:30 pm CET)

Airbus delivered 351 commercial aircraft in H1 2026 — best half-year performance since 2019, up ~15% from 306 in H1 2025 (afm.aero, July 2026). The 2026 annual target was raised to 870 deliveries. Higher volumes structurally improve unit economics and reduce per-aircraft costs, lifting adjusted EBIT margins. H1 2024 adjusted EBIT margin was ~6.1%; with 15% more deliveries in H1 2026 exceeding 6.0% appears plausible. Supply-chain bottlenecks (CFM LEAP, PW1100G) could weigh on margin.

Microsoft Azure Cloud grows more than 39% year-on-year in constant currency in Microsoft's Q4 FY2026 earnings report (29 July 2026)

Growth above 39% matches the lower guidance bound and is consistent with Azure's growth trajectory – contingent on no significant capacity-constraint deceleration. Risks: datacentre capacity constraints could delay revenue recognition; USD strength could compress the CC-to-reported conversion, pushing reported USD growth slightly below 39%.
