Shares of Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) climbed 4.3% on Wednesday, after analysts raised the specter of an imminent dividend increase.

Morgan Stanley analyst Keith Weiss reiterated his "overweight" rating on Microsoft's stock and boosted his price forecast from $230 to $245. Weiss expects the tech giant to raise its dividend by 10% later in September. He also noted that Microsoft can afford to increase its cash payout to investors even more, thanks to its strong profit growth.
