Microsoft Director John W. Stanton Receives 145-Share Award

What Happened John W. Stanton, a director of Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), was granted 145 shares as a stock award on January 30, 2026. The Form 4 reports the acquisition price as $0.00, and a footnote states the award was fully vested on the date of grant. This was an award (compensation), not an open-market purchase or sale.

Key Details

  • Transaction date: 2026-01-30 (reported on Form 4 filed 2026-02-03).
  • Transaction type/code: A = Award/Grant; 145 shares acquired at $0.00.
  • Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing.
  • Footnote: The stock award was fully vested on the date of grant (immediate ownership).
  • Timeliness: Form 4 filed Feb 3, 2026; Form 4s are generally due within two business days, so this filing appears timely.

Context Stock awards to directors are commonly part of compensation and governance arrangements. Because this was a fully vested award rather than an open-market purchase, it should be viewed as routine compensation rather than a direct bullish signal from insider buying.
