Microsoft Has just been posted The third quarter of its 2025 financial results. The software maker earned $ 70.1 billion in revenue and net income of $ 25.8 billion during Q3. The revenue has increased by 13 %, and net revenue has increased by 18 %. Microsoft is expected to report income of $ 68.42 billion, so the results have defeated Wall Street expectations.

It seems that cloud growth is the main driver of a better income, which overall Microsoft cloud revenue reaches $ 42.4 billion, which is 20 % higher. Microsoft has not separated its AI’s income, so it is not yet clear how much that part of its business is increasing.

With all the eyes on Trump’s prices and the impact of consumer spending, Microsoft reported that Windows OEM and 3 % increased by year. Businesses and users are upgrading PC and laptops before the end of Windows 10 in October, but Windows OEM revenue has not yet increased. Microsoft says the growth of Windows OEM was partially “at the level of raising inventory levels due to tariff uncertainty.”

Microsoft now connects surface revenue with Windows OEM revenue, so it is no longer clear how its level line is doing. Microsoft has not launched any new consumer -level equipment in the recent quarter, but the company has begun selling versions powered by Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 in February for business. Microsoft is also rumored to launch a small version of the level of supporter and surface laptop soon.

Xbox content and services, including the game pass, has an 8 % increase. Although Microsoft is not displaying any new game pass subscription numbers, and the last time we were updated, in February 2024, Microsoft revealed that there were 34 million users, including the Xbox Game Pass Core (before the Xbox Live Gold) members.

The move has proved to be a successful, which is pre -presenting Indiana Jones and the Great Circle And Forza Horizon 5 Last month Tapping at Sony’s PlayStore Store.
