Last Updated: 2025-12-05

Microsoft generated $281.7B in revenue for fiscal year 2025, a +14.9% year-over-year change. Gross margin was 68.8%. Net income reached $101.8B.

Microsoft's cloud growth remains explosive, but the AI 'arms race' is beginning to show real financial strain via margin compression, $106B in future lease commitments, and billions in non-operating losses from OpenAI. Microsoft delivered another strong quarter for cloud revenue and operating cash flow, but the 10-Q exposes meaningful new strategic and accounting risks that materially affect investor calculus. Azure and Microsoft 365 drove $49.1B of Microsoft Cloud revenue (up 26%), operating income expanded, and net cash from operations surged to $45.1B — confirming the company still generates enormous free cash.
