Microsoft drew a profit of $27.2 billion in the last quarter of FY25, driven by demand for the cloud and AI. Overall, it recorded profits of over a hundred billion dollars in the entire fiscal year.
At the start of the month, Microsoft announced that it was laying off 9,000 employees across the organization in cuts that affected a significant number of departments. CEO Satya Nadella then told employees that this decision is weighing heavily on him but emphasized that this is the «enigma of success» as the company’s headcount still remains the same while it inches closer to the $4 trillion market capitalization. In the wake of all this, the firm has now announced earnings for the fourth quarter of the 2025 fiscal year; basically FY25 Q4.
Overall, Microsoft reported a revenue of $76.4 billion in the latest quarter, which is a year-over-year increase of 18% compared to the $64.
