Microsoft shares will thrive this year because of strong growth in its Azure cloud computing business, according to J.P. Morgan.
The firm raised its rating on the company's shares to overweight from neutral, predicting Microsoft will report profit above expectations this year.
On Thursday, the software company announced a better-than-expected earnings result for its fiscal third quarter. Microsoft's forecast for sales in the fourth quarter were also above the average Wall Street forecast.
"We think Microsoft will dominate in the Enterprise, and it stands to benefit from a broad and powerful lineup of Cloud solutions," analyst Mark Murphy wrote in a note to clients Friday. "While the PC cycle and Windows dynamic are still highly relevant, we believe Microsoft is pushing forward with a successful cloud strategy."
Murphy raised his December 2018 price target to $110 from $94 for Microsoft shares. The new target is 17 percent above Thursday's closing price. He estimates the company will report earnings per share of $3.82 in its fiscal 2018 versus the $3.77 Wall Street consensus
Microsoft's Azure cloud business grew 89 percent in the third quarter compared with the same period last year, and its cloud "premium services" segment grew more than 100 percent for its 15th quarter in a row.
"Azure remains in high-growth territory," the analyst wrote. "Azure use cases are broadening in scope and gaining traction; for example Azure ML [machine learning] is used by tens of thousands of customers, 300,000 developers use Azure Bot service."
Microsoft shares rose 1.7 percent Friday.

Bringing Nonexistence Into Existence: Microsoft's Vision for Mixed Reality
We face a daily reality such that every individual can make, regardless of whether it'd be a depiction, an article, a dream for a business or anything that can be envisioned, truly. Innovation has propelled our understanding with respect to how we can make in the computerized space, and, much of the time made it less demanding to make things. For instance, rather than painting, one can make a realistic or think of an activity, both of which utilize an advanced method to catch symbolism. To implant significantly greater inventiveness into this space, prominent applications, for example, Prisma, change one's photographs and recordings into show-stoppers by world well known craftsmen, for example, Picasso and Van Gogh.
In spite of the fact that making an advanced canvas or composing a blog for many individuals to see is an extraordinary ordeal, it is restricting that it lives in a 2D world. In any case, we live in a 3D world. All in all, imagine a scenario where you needed to make something in 3D. Afterall we since we encounter things in 3D, shouldn't innovation permit us likewise to make in 3D? The response to that is 'yes' and most as of late, Microsoft has uncovered its vision for a blended reality encounter that would enable one to make in the advanced and genuine space, and anyplace in the middle!
What is totally striking about such a combination is, to the point that the limits of what is genuine and what is imaginarily are obscured. Presently, the limits between the advanced and this present reality could be fit together, and the two can be traded. Microsoft is producing together another vision for reforming processing and inventiveness by melding a continuum which comprises of virtual reality, enlarged reality, 3D printing, and a straightforward tablet or a PC. Thusly, innovation can engage people to grow our points of view and rise above time and space. It is a chance to make a virtual world and afterward bring it into reality, which can be imparted it to loved ones.
Since obscuring advanced limits with our space can appear to be somewhat unique, I can give you one case of what this implies utilizing the above picture. In the above representation, a tyke is finding out about marine life in the classroom. To give him a case of how expansive a shark is in reality, his educator requests that he give him a rough size by utilizing his hands. On the tablet, the instructor can superimpose the shark on the camera picture, and take a photograph! Thusly, a tyke will be appeared with a genuine live shark in the classroom. Not exclusively is this a 'goodness' factor when the kid sees himself imagined with a shark, yet it additionally enables the tyke to be effectively associated with finding out about his general surroundings. It is anything but difficult to perceive how such a device will be intense in instruction, and also crosswise over different organizations.
Later on, it will likewise be conceivable to print different things made in the program utilizing a 3D printer, and as 3D printing progresses, and our utilization of it, it will end up boundless what we could into the genuine from our own particular creative impulses.
The principal guarantee of blended the truth is to expel the obstruction that exists between our physical and computerized universes. What is astonishing about it is that with Microsoft's vision is that everybody can take an interest in it. With Mixed Reality Viewer, one can see 3D objects – either from the Remix3D.com people group or your own particular creation from Paint 3D – blended into your genuine surroundings through your PC's camera, much the same as in the above picture!
