Microsoft has announced a 31% increase in its net profit, reaching $133.7 billion for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. This growth is largely driven by the strong performance of its cloud platform, Azure, which surpassed $100 billion in annual revenue for the first time. Additionally, the company's AI assistant, Microsoft 365 Copilot, achieved over 30 million paid licenses during the same period. Overall, Microsoft's total revenue for the fiscal year rose by 18%, totaling $331.8 billion. In the last quarter, from April to June, the company reported a net income of $35.8 billion, marking a 31% year-over-year increase, with quarterly revenues reaching $90 billion. CEO Satya Nadella highlighted that these results reflect the trust customers place in Microsoft to lead their digital transformation with artificial intelligence.
