Microsoft Corp (MSFT)
Summary
MSFT Chart
Microsoft smashed expectations with AI-fuelled quarter. But what does it mean for UK investors?
Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) latest results landed with the force of a Raphinha shot from the edge of the box, at least according to analysts at Wedbush. After markets closed on Wednesday, the tech giant beat forecasts across the board, raised guidance, and made it clear that the AI boom is more than just hype.
Microsoft Q3: AI Narrative Intact (Rating Upgrade)
Previous to this earning session, my main concern was a slowdown in data center demand, as noted by some reports pointing to a slowdown in Microsoft Corporation's data center buildout. My concern is now gone after FQ3 2025 results. Revenue from Azure grew 33% YOY. Furthermore, Microsoft's AI business drove 16 pps of that improvement. It seems that the limiting factor to burn through their CapEx is the constraints around power supply and not data center demand.
Meta and Microsoft beat earnings. Wall Street's eyes are now on Apple and Amazon.
