+33%
Azure is the growth engine
Azure and other cloud services grew 33%, and Microsoft Cloud revenue hit $42.4B — about 61% of all revenue. The growth story is the data centers.
Microsoft grew 13% to $70.1B as Azure jumped 33% and the cloud passed $42B — AI demand is lifting every part of the business, even while the data-center buildout pushes costs up faster than revenue.

Charts in billions are hard to feel. Here is the same quarter, shrunk down: for every $100 Microsoft took in, this is where it went.
The rows reconcile to the $36.86 kept as profit within $0.01 of rounding; other expense is a $0.89 drag per $100 of revenue.
If you only remember three numbers from this quarter, make it these.
Azure and other cloud services grew 33%, and Microsoft Cloud revenue hit $42.4B — about 61% of all revenue. The growth story is the data centers.
Microsoft returned $9.7B in dividends and buybacks this quarter while still funding the AI buildout — the business throws off far more cash than it needs to run.
More Personal Computing grew 6% on Xbox content (+8%) and search ads (+21%), but at $13.4B it is under a fifth of revenue — the cloud and Office businesses set the pace.
The same chart, for every quarter we've covered.
