Microsoft Reports Q4 Earnings, AI Takes Top Spotlight

Microsoft's Q4 earnings showed strong performance with earnings per share of $2.94 and revenue of $64.5 billion, topping last year's figures. Cloud revenue reached $36.8 billion, driven by Azure and growing AI services.

However, large investments in AI raise concerns. Capital expenditures topped $14 billion, mostly for AI infrastructure, raising questions about short-term returns.

Despite the concerns, Microsoft shares are up 13% this year, adding more than $350 billion to its market value. Investors hope AI investments will pay off, although they remain wary of short-term performance. 🚀
