On this page of Benford's Law Stocks.com we present our study of MICROSOFT CORP — ticker symbol MSFT.

While the above MSFT 10Q Filed 4/30/2025 is interesting in isolation, we have found that it is also useful to take a look at older MICROSOFT CORP filings processed by our Benford's Law Stocks algorithm, to see how the company's filings "typically look" on a Benford's Law analysis. Below we repeat the 10Q Filed 4/30/2025 but instead of the chart comparing against the typical company across our coverage universe, below we show the same chart compared against the typical MSFT 10Q and 10K filings that we have processed historically. This is followed by similar charts for each of those historical filings.
