Microsoft Reports Strong Fiscal Q1 Results Driven by Azure and Copilot Growth
Microsoft (MSFT) reported robust fiscal Q1 results that exceeded analyst expectations, with total revenue rising 19% year-over-year to $92.3 billion and adjusted EPS increasing 18% to $4.89. The primary growth engine remains the Azure cloud unit, which saw revenue surge 48% to $33.17 billion, supported by high demand for AI infrastructure and improved hardware efficiency. Despite significant capital expenditures totaling $45.2 billion—largely directed toward GPUs and CPUs—the company maintained strong liquidity with $18.6 billion in free cash flow. Looking forward, Microsoft anticipates continued acceleration in Azure growth and expects to increase annual capex to approximately $170 billion to meet the ongoing demand for AI services and agentic software like Copilot.
