Microsoft reported record quarterly revenue of US$92.3 billion, up 19 percent year-on-year, for the first quarter of the 2027 fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. The financial report released on October 28 is strong evidence of the technology giant's dominance in the era of artificial intelligence.
The main highlight came from Azure's cloud computing business which grew 48 percent to US$33.2 billion. For the first time, Microsoft reported Azure revenue in direct dollar figures, rather than simply as a growth percentage. A separate regulatory report revealed that Microsoft recorded US$10 billion in revenue from commercial deals with OpenAI — about 11 percent of total revenue and more than its Xbox business (US$5.4 billion) and Search and Bing (US$6.6 billion).
The market responded positively. Microsoft shares rose about 4 percent after the announcement, as investors believe that big spending on AI infrastructure is starting to produce real results. Analysts assess that the transparency of Azure's figures this time provides a clearer picture of Microsoft's future growth engine.
