Microsoft said Thursday its first-quarter earnings rose 24 percent, narrowly beating expectations, but the software giant’s stock fell after disappointing guidance for the current quarter.
Net income rose to $3.14 billion, or $0.29 per share, from $2.53 billion, or $0.23, in the year-ago quarter. The 2005 results included a $0.02-per-share charge for the RealNetworks settlement while 2004 results included a charge of $0.03 per share to settle a dispute with Novell.
But analysts were disappointed with the guidance the company issued for the current quarter. For the second quarter ending December 31, Microsoft sees earnings per share in the range of $0.32 to $0.33 on revenue in the range of $11.9 billion to $12 billion. This fell far short of analyst expectations of $0.35 per share, according to Thomsom Financial.
The results came out after the market closed, but Microsoft shares fell $0.36 to $24.49 in after-hours trading.
