Here’s how the company performed in comparison with LSEG consensus:<\/p>\n
Microsoft’s revenue grew 17% year over year in the fiscal second quarter, which ended on Dec. 31, according to a statement<\/a>. <\/p>\nNet income, at $38.46 billion, or $5.16 per share, was up from $24.11 billion, or $3.23 per share, in the same quarter a year earlier. Adjusted earnings exclude impact from investments in OpenAI.<\/p>\nThe company reported $9.97 billion in other income, compared with other expense of $2.29 billion in the same quarter a year ago. The swing comes three months after OpenAI announced a restructuring<\/a> that involved its for-profit arm becoming a public-benefit corporation.<\/p>\nAt year end, Microsoft’s commercial remaining performance obligation, a measurement of unearned revenue and amounts that will be recognized as revenue later, stood at $625 billion, up some 110%. That’s thanks to OpenAI’s $250 billion cloud commitment with Microsoft during the quarter. Microsoft said 45% of commercial remaining performance obligation is tied to OpenAI. <\/p>\nCommercial bookings growth, which tracks quarterly activity, surged to 230% from 112% in the fiscal first quarter.<\/p>\nRevenue from Azure and other cloud services grew 39%, compared with 40% growth in the fiscal first quarter. Analysts surveyed by StreetAccount and CNBC had expected 39.4% and 38.9% growth, respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nSource link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella speaks at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 20, 2026.
