Microsoft beat on the top and bottom lines. $MSFT reported fiscal Q1 2027 revenue of $92.3 billion, up 19% from $77.7 billion a year ago. Adjusted earnings hit $4.89 per share, above the roughly $4.71 consensus and up from $4.13 last year.
Azure, Microsoft’s cloud business, grew 48% to $33.2 billion, beating the 45% guidance, and total cloud revenue reached $63.9 billion, up 30%. Spending hit $45.2 billion in the quarter, with over $50 billion guided next quarter. CEO Satya Nadella closed the call saying he has never been more confident in the long-term returns on Microsoft’s investments, as enterprise AI moves from experiments to production.
Does Azure keep accelerating toward 50% next quarter?
Not financial advice.
