Microsoft set to reach $4 trillion market cap after strong earnings
Microsoft is on track to become the second company ever to hit a $4 trillion market valuation following its latest earnings report. Revenue rose 18% year-over-year to $76.4 billion in Q4, with net income up 24% to $27.2 billion. Cloud services, especially Azure, were the key growth drivers: Azure revenue jumped 39% year-over-year, surpassing $75 billion annually. Gaming also surged, with Xbox content and services revenue up 13%, and Microsoft emerging as the top publisher across both Xbox and PlayStation.
