Microsoft rose 2.9 percent yesterday after chief financial officer John Connors said the company hasn't changed its sales and profit forecasts for the fiscal year ending next June. The company said in July that it expects profit of US$1.91 to US$1.95 a share on sales of US$28.8 billion to US$29.6 billion. The forecast includes an 8 percent rise in operating income, Connors said.
