Microsoft’s cloud and AI businesses are doing pretty well — and their impact is being felt across the company. In its Q2 2025 earnings, Microsoft announced revenue of $69.6 billion for the quarter, up 12 percent year-over-year, and net income of $24.1 billion, which is up 10 percent year-over-year.

Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, said the spending was needed to overcome the capacity constraints that hampered the tech giant's ability to capitalize on AI.

AI revenue run rate reached $13 billion, as the company reported $69.6 billion in revenue for the December quarter, up 12%, with earnings of $3.23/share, topping Wall Street's expectations by both measures.

Microsoft Corp. said Wednesday that its profit for the October-December quarter grew 10% from the same time last year as it works to capitalize on the huge amounts of money it has spent to advance its artificial intelligence technology.

Microsoft has moved surprisingly quickly to bring R1 to its Azure customers.
