person · executiveCredibility: 60%

Why this score? Executive vice president and CFO of Microsoft. Her earnings-call figures are drawn from filings made under SEC liability and are consistently reconcilable to them; discounted as an interested party on forward guidance and on the framing of accounting changes she herself chose.

Even as we invest to meet growing demand, full fiscal year operating margins should be down less than a point. In addition, we expect to remain free cash flow positive in FY27.?

Context: Forward guidance from a company officer, resolvable against Microsoft's filed fiscal-2027 cash-flow statements. It starts from a wide margin: free cash flow was $19.64 billion in the quarter just reported, against Alphabet's negative $5.855 billion and Meta's $784 million. The test is not whether it stays positive but by how much, given guided capital expenditure of around $175 billion for the year.
