Technology giant Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) could be one of the most-watched stocks for the week when the company reports third-quarter financial results after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">market close Wednesday</a>.
Here are the earnings estimates, a look at what analysts are saying and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Microsoft to report third-quarter revenue of $68.44 billion, up from $61.86 billion in last year's third quarter, according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0429">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company has beaten analyst revenue estimates in eight straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters overall.
Analysts expect Microsoft to report third-quarter earnings per share of $3.22, up from $2.94 in last year's third quarter. Microsoft has beaten analyst earnings per share estimates in 10 straight quarters.
What Experts Are Saying: Freedom Capital Markets Chief Global Strategist Jay Woods emphasized the importance of Microsoft's financial results in a weekly <a href="https://jaywoods.substack.com/">newsletter</a>.
"Considering we are dealing with the top market caps in the world, their price impact will move the markets. All but META are in both the Dow and S&amp;P 500 and all four stocks are the top holdings in their specific sector ETFs," Woods said of Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Apple and Amazon.com.
Woods said all four have recently hit bear market territory and have "much room to reverse to get back to old highs."
"MSFT shares are 16% below their highs and flat for the last year. The company continues to spend on AI and investors want to see how this investment is being integrated into their product suite and what impact that will have on revenue."
Woods said another key focus will be on Microsoft's cloud services performance. "Growth with Azure is expected to bolster its cloud operations.&#8221;
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45001386/dan-ives-software-the-only-safety-blanket-amid-the-storm-of-tariffs">recently highlighted</a> Microsoft as one of several software stocks that could be part of what he called a "security blanket" from the "Category 5" storm that includes trade wars, tariffs and geopolitical uncertainties.
He noted that with the supply chain "visibly clouded," companies with software are a safer bet, with Microsoft being one example. The analyst also said the "AI party is just getting started," with a prediction of $1 trillion in incremental spending for the sector over the next decade helping companies like Microsoft.
Goldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan was one of several analysts to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44977884/goldman-trims-microsoft-price-target-to-450-but-sticks-with-bullish-gen-ai-growth-thesis">cut the price target</a> on Microsoft stock ahead of earnings, taking the target from $500 to $400 while reiterating a Buy rating.
The analyst said Microsoft still remains a compelling name in software but is concerned about several potential near-term headwinds.
Rangan is specifically cautious about Microsoft's guidance as there could be "some downside risk" if non-AI growth slows.
KeyBanc Capital analyst Jackson Ader<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/downgrades/25/04/44874447/microsoft-analyst-lowers-rating-flags-slower-growth-flat-valuation-outlook" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> recently downgraded Microsoft </a>stock from &#8220;Overweight&#8221; to &#8220;Sector Weight&#8221; with no price target.
The analyst said some durable macro themes could play out during the on-calendar season for Microsoft, with caution in the company's guidance.
While the current quarter was holding up fine, conversations with Microsoft marketing partners indicated concerns for the rest of the year, Ader said.
Key Items to Watch: Cloud and AI are likely to be the most-watched segments in Microsoft's earnings report, along with items to watch for management commentary.
In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43320124/microsoft-shares-slide-after-q2-results-cloud-revenue-misses-expectations-details">the second quarter</a>, Microsoft's Intelligent Cloud segment saw revenue increase by 19% year-over-year.
"We are innovating across our tech stack and helping customers unlock the full ROI of AI to capture the massive opportunity ahead," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said after second-quarter results.
Nadella said Microsoft's AI business had surpassed an annual run rate of $13 billion.
As mentioned by Woods, Microsoft could be one of the most important stocks for the week due to its presence in several top indexes. The stock report could make the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) ETFs volatile.
Microsoft is the second-largest holding in the SPY at 6.2% of assets and is the third-largest holding in the DIA at 6.0% of assets.
MSFT Price Action: Microsoft stock is up 0.6% to $393.35 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $344.79 to $468.35. Microsoft stock is down 6.0% year-to-date in 2025 and down 2.2% over the last year.

Major Wall Street investment banks are divided over how the dollar will move from here, yet much clarity could be just days away as a deluge of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">key economic data looms.</a>
In an outlook shared with clients last week, Wells Fargo's economics team, led by Nick Bennenbroek, expressed a bullish short-term stance on the U.S. dollar, calling the recent wave of depreciation &#8220;tactical&#8221; rather than the beginning of a structural trend.
"We expect the U.S. dollar to rebound in the immediate period ahead," the analysts said, suggesting the dollar will remain fundamentally supported before resuming trend strength into 2026.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bearish Positioning Builds As Speculators Eye US Economic Weakness</h3>
 Speculative net short positions against the greenback — measured across 10 major currencies and the Dollar Index (DXY) — surged to $40 billion last week, the highest level since October 2023, according to Commodity Futures Trading Commission data.
The Dollar Index, as tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), has dropped 8% year-to-date, reaching its most oversold levels since December 2020 last week.
Technically, it is now 5.5% below its 200-day and 4.5% below its 50-day moving averages, underscoring how aggressive the recent selloff has been.
Wells Fargo indicated that unusual dynamics are pressuring the dollar, particularly the political noise and tariff volatility emanating from the U.S. 
"With the source of policy uncertainty and volatility coming out of the United States, market participants have sold dollar-denominated assets and moved away from Treasuries," they said. 
Yet, the team described this as &#8220;a transitory phenomenon,&#8221; not a fundamental reassessment of U.S. assets.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs Sees Further Dollar Weakness Ahead</h3>
Over at Goldman Sachs, foreign exchange analyst Kamakshya Trivedi took the opposite side of the trade.
"Even after a swift move in recent weeks, we believe that the dollar has further to fall," Trivedi said. 
The investment bank highlights that the underperformance of U.S. assets and the reduction in global investors' enthusiasm for unhedged dollar assets could trigger a longer-lasting decline in the greenback.
Trivedi emphasized that investors may be overestimating the impact of short-term positioning while underestimating the structural reallocation already underway. 
"We are more focused on the likely shift in future allocations," he said, citing historical parallels where changes in investor appetite led to persistent exchange rate moves.
Goldman's concern is compounded by ongoing uncertainty around U.S. trade and monetary policy. 
While President Donald Trump's recent statements hint at potential tariff rollbacks and efforts to reassure markets — including backing off pressure on the Fed — the bank is unconvinced these efforts will quickly restore investor confidence.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dollar Direction Hinges On Upcoming Macro Data</h3>
The next few trading days could be decisive for the dollar&#8217;s short-term fate, with several high-impact U.S. economic reports on deck:
<ul>
<li>Q1 2025 GDP (Wednesday): Expected to slow sharply from 2.8% in Q4 2024 to 0.4%, according to median economist consensus tracked by TradingEconomics.</li>
<li>Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index (Wednesday): Fed's preferred inflation gauge expected to cool to from 2.5% to 2.2% in March, with core PCE dropping from 2.8% to 2.6%</li>
<li>April Jobs Report (Friday): Forecasts see nonfarm payrolls at 135,000, down from 228,000, with unemployment steady at 4.2%</li>
</ul>
If the data confirm a softening U.S. economy, it could validate Goldman Sachs' bearish thesis, especially as investors price in earlier and deeper Federal Reserve rate cuts. 
On the flip side, any surprise economic resilience in jobs or inflation could lend weight to Wells Fargo's tactical dollar rebound call.

On November 1, 2023, BeiGene filed a PGR petition with the USPTO challenging the validity of certain claims of the ‘803 patent, in response to a patent infringement lawsuit Pharmacyclics brought against BeiGene concerning BRUKINSA&#xAE; (zanubrutinib). On May 1, 2024, the USPTO granted BeiGene's petition to institute the PGR. The USPTO's Final Written Decision is appealable by Pharmacyclics.
Commenting on the ruling, BeiGene General Counsel Chan Lee said: "We are pleased that the USPTO invalidated all challenged claims of the ‘803 patent. Today's decision reinforces our belief that Pharmacyclics' ‘803 patent is overly broad and invalid. BeiGene is confident in the strength of our intellectual property supporting BRUKINSA, a clearly differentiated and independently developed medicine. With approvals in more than 70 countries and regions for the treatment of multiple B-cell malignancies, BRUKINSA continues to set a new standard of care for patients worldwide."

Daqo New Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DQ#NYSE">DQ</a>) shares fell 13.2% to $12.85 during Tuesday&#8217;s session after the solar-grade polysilicon producer reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45062964/daqo-new-energy-announces-unaudited-first-quarter-2025-results">worse-than-expected</a> first-quarter results, signaling possible industry struggles.
What To Know: The company posted an adjusted net loss of 80 cents per ADS, wider than analyst expectations of a 69 cent loss. Revenue dropped 70% year-over-year to $123.9 million, missing the $182.1 million consensus. The sharp decline was driven by lower sales volumes and weak pricing, amid persistent overcapacity and muted demand in the solar PV market.
Gross margin plunged to -65.8% from +17.4% a year ago, with a gross loss of $81.5 million. Polysilicon average selling prices dropped to $4.37/kg, below both production and cash costs. Despite losses, Daqo&#8217;s balance sheet shows $2.15 billion in liquid assets and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45062964/daqo-new-energy-announces-unaudited-first-quarter-2025-results">no financial debt</a>.
CEO Xiang Xu said the company ran at 33% capacity to manage inventory and mitigate low prices. Looking ahead, Daqo expects second-quarter polysilicon output of 25,000–28,000 MT. Management remains confident in long-term prospects, citing cost leadership, new technologies and China&#8217;s push for solar expansion.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy DQ Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Daqo New Energy&#8217;s case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Sherwin-Williams Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>) reported first-quarter financial results before the market open on Tuesday. Here&#8217;s a look at the key metrics <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45062385/the-sherwin-williams-company-reports-2025-first-quarter-financial-results">from the quarter</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q1 Revenue: $5.31 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $5.4 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q1 Adjusted EPS: $2.25, versus estimates of $2.16 per share</li>
</ul>
Sherwin-Williams said total sales declined 1.1% year-over-year. Consumer Brands Group sales fell 6% year-over-year, primarily due to &#8220;soft&#8221; DIY demand in North America. Performance Coating Group sales were down 4.8% in the quarter. Paint Stores Group sales fared better, seeing 1.2% sales growth during the period, primarily driven by selling price increases. 
The company returned&nbsp;$552.1 million&nbsp;to shareholders in the first quarter in the form of dividends and repurchases. Sherwin-Williams ended the period with $199.8 million in cash and cash equivalents.
&#8220;In a demand environment that remained choppy as we anticipated, Sherwin-Williams continued to execute our strategy and delivered solid&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;results driven by gross margin expansion and good cost control,&#8221; said Heidi Petz, chair, president and CEO of Sherwin-Williams.

Guidance: Sherwin-Williams expects second-quarter revenue to be up or down in the low-single digit percentage range. The company guided for full-year 2025 net sales growth in the low-single digit percentage range. 
Sherwin-Williams also expects full-year adjusted earnings of $11.65 to $12.05 per share versus estimates of $11.90 per share, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
&#8220;We continue to expect demand softness to persist in several end markets well into the second half of the year. Regarding current tariffs, it&#8217;s important to remember that the largest portion of our revenue is in&nbsp;the United States, and the majority of our raw materials are sourced in the regions where we manufacture. In a macro-economic environment that remains turbulent, we are focused on being a source of stability and reliability for our customers, providing them with differentiated solutions that increase their productivity and profitability,&#8221; Petz said.
SHW Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/SHW">Sherwin-Williams shares</a> were up 5.46% at $350.33 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Sherwin-Williams Reports Mixed Q1 Results In 'Choppy' Demand Environment

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday approved Abeona Therapeutics Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABEO#NASDAQ">ABEO</a>) Zevaskyn (prademagene zamikeracel) gene-modified cellular sheets, also known as pz-cel, as the first and only autologous cell-based gene therapy for wounds in adult and pediatric patients with recessive dystrophic <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB)</a>.
RDEB is&nbsp;a severe, genetically inherited skin disorder characterized by blistering and skin fragility, often presenting at birth.
Zevaskyn is the only FDA-approved product to treat RDEB wounds <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g45061116/u-s-fda-approves-zevaskyn-prademagene-zamikeracel-the-first-and-only-cell-based-gene-therapy-for-p" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a single application</a>.
Zevaskyn consists of a patient&#8217;s skin cells (keratinocytes) genetically modified to produce functional Type VII collagen. Zevaskyn sheets are surgically applied to the patient&#8217;s wounded areas. In a single application, up to 12 credit card-sized sheets can be combined to cover large areas or applied to multiple distinct wounds, allowing for significant coverage of affected body areas.

Zevaskyn is expected to be available beginning in the third quarter of 2025 through Zevaskyn Qualified Treatment Centers.
The FDA approval is based on the pivotal Phase 3 VIITAL study, which met its two co-primary efficacy endpoints, demonstrating statistically significant healing of 50% or more from baseline in large chronic RDEB wounds and pain reduction from baseline as assessed by the Wong-Baker FACES scale, as evaluated at six months after treatment.
Across 43 large and chronic wounds treated with a single application of Zevaskyn, 81% of wounds showed 50% or more healing (P&lt;0.0001) as evaluated at six months, compared to 16% in 43 matched control wounds treated with standard-of-care.
The most common adverse events were observed in fewer than 5% of patients, including procedural pain and itch.
The Phase 1/2a study of Zevaskyn, which involved 38 chronic wounds across seven patients, showed that a single surgical application of Zevaskyn was associated with long-term improvement at treated sites over a median follow-up of 6.9 years, ranging from 4 to 8 years.
Last April, the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) in response to the company&#8217;s Biologics License Application (BLA) for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/04/38380100/fda-rejects-approval-of-abeona-therapeutics-skin-disorder-treatment-shares-sink" rel="noreferrer noopener">pz-cel for RDEB</a>.&nbsp;
The FDA noted that certain additional information&nbsp;was needed&nbsp;to&nbsp;satisfy Chemistry Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) requirements.&nbsp;
Price Action: ABEO stock is up 2.34% at $5.46 at the last check Tuesday.
