Microsoft hits 10 quarters of record-breaking revenue in a row

Whatever the future of AI might be, the current situation is still very good for Microsoft. The tech giant reported yet another quarterly revenue record on Wednesday: $92.3 billion, a 19% increase over the year-ago quarter.

Microsoft has now reported record-breaking revenue for 10 quarters in a row.

This is profitable revenue, too. Microsoft reported that net income reached $36.6 billion, an increase of 32% on a GAAP basis, over the year-ago quarter.

The record-breaking income was largely driven on the strength of Microsoft Cloud, which reached $63.9 billion in revenue this quarter, an increase of 30% over the year-ago quarter, Microsoft said.

Microsoft has reorganized its business reporting into two basic segments: 1) Agents and Infra and 2) Devices and Consumer. On the flip side, revenue in Devices and Consumer was $15.5 billion, decreased of 3%, with Windows OEM and devices revenue falling 22% from the year-ago quarter.

True, not all of Microsoft’s healthy cloud revenue can be attributed to AI. Microsoft 365 accounted for nearly $28 billion. But Azure brought in the most, at $33.2 billion. And again, not all of that is necessarily AI-related. Enterprises run all sorts of the traditional software and SaaS applications on Azure.

Still, a good chunk of the revenue was from AI, because Microsoft also reported $10 billion in revenue from OpenAI . Despite branching out to AWS, Oracle, and others, OpenAI still runs a lot of its services on Microsoft’s cloud. ” That represents future revenue committed under existing contracts of the AI labs.
