Microsoft's total market value surpassed an impressive $4 trillion for the initial time.
Microsoft, the American multinational technology company founded in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, has reached a market capitalization of $4 trillion. This milestone is primarily driven by the company's leadership in cloud computing and artificial intelligence, successful strategic investments, and strong financial performance.
As of 18:23 Moscow time, the company's shares were trading at $537.11. In the II quarter of 2025, Microsoft reported a net income of $27.2 billion, marking a 24% increase compared to the same period last year. The quarterly revenue for the company during this period reached $76.4 billion, a 18% increase compared to the same period in the previous year.
The growth of Azure, Microsoft's cloud platform, has been a significant contributor to this financial success. For the entire 2025 fiscal year, Azure's revenue reached $74 billion, with its growth for the year at 34%. This is the highest among Microsoft's product lines and outpaced its quarterly growth rate. The exact figures for Azure's growth over the quarter are yet to be disclosed, but it is known to have grown by 39%.
Microsoft's focus on Azure has resulted in significant revenue growth, making it indispensable in the technology ecosystem. The company's cloud infrastructure underpins critical modern technologies and digital services—including AI, streaming platforms, and online gaming—fueling consistent revenue growth expected to continue through fiscal 2026 with double-digit expansion.
Under CEO Satya Nadella, Microsoft has capitalized on the AI boom and cloud services growth, notably through its Azure cloud platform and strategic partnership with OpenAI, which powers backend operations for millions of customers, including major clients like Apple. Additionally, Microsoft's stock performance has been boosted by substantial dividend payouts and stock buyback programs, attracting strong investor confidence.
The company's success has not gone unnoticed, as Microsoft is the second company in the world to achieve a market value of $4 trillion, with American Nvidia being the first. By 16:23 Moscow time, Microsoft's market capitalization was $4 trillion.
As one of the world's largest software producers, Microsoft's dominance and innovation in cloud computing, strategic partnerships, and strong earnings performance have solidified its position as a key player in the global technology market. These elements collectively underpin Microsoft’s elevated market position and investor confidence.
