Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) Surface Event Preview

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is about to take the wraps off of new offerings from its popular Surface line of products. The big reveal takes place today at a media event in the Big Apple.

The Verge has the details.

Microsoft is holding a media event on Tuesday in New York City. Described only as a “moment of your time,” the event is likely to focus on Surface hardware, Windows 10 features, and Microsoft’s new productivity push to win back consumers. Microsoft’s Surface chief, Panos Panay, will be attending the event and it will be the company’s first big Surface / Windows press event since former Windows chief Terry Myerson departed over the summer. It’s a chance for Microsoft to show where Windows is heading, unveil the latest Surface hardware, and perhaps surprise us with something new.

Speculation calls for a new Surface Laptop to be unveiled, as well as the next generation of Surface Pro. The tech titan could also share details about updates which are either ready to go or in the works for Windows 10.

As always, big reveal events bring the possibility of a few surprises to the table. Anticipation is high for Microsoft’s event as a result.

Microsoft Corporation shares fell $0.36 (-0.31%) in premarket trading Tuesday. Year-to-date, MSFT has gained 36.90%, versus a 10.75% rise in the benchmark S&P 500 index during the same period.

MSFT currently has a StockNews.com POWR Rating of A (Strong Buy), and is ranked #1 of 69 stocks in the Software – Application category.
