Description: MSFT Microsoft September 24, 2025

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) operates three core segments: Productivity and Business Processes (Microsoft 365, Teams, LinkedIn, Dynamics 365), Intelligent Cloud (Azure, GitHub, server software, enterprise services) and Personal Computing (Windows OEM licensing, Surface devices, Xbox hardware and services, Bing/Edge advertising). The company distributes its portfolio through OEMs, distributors, online and retail channels, and is headquartered in Redmond, Washington.

In fiscal 2024, Microsoft reported total revenue of $211 billion, with Azure and other cloud services growing 27 % year-over-year, contributing roughly 30 % of overall revenue. The Intelligent Cloud segment now represents the largest revenue share, driven by a ~33 % share of the global cloud infrastructure market, according to third-party estimates.

Key macro drivers include sustained enterprise spending on cloud infrastructure, accelerated adoption of AI-augmented productivity tools (e.g., Copilot), and the broader digital-transformation wave that benefits both the cloud and personal-computing ecosystems. A notable sector trend is the increasing integration of AI services into existing SaaS offerings, which is expected to lift average revenue per user (ARPU) across Microsoft 365 and Azure.
