Microsoft Reports Azure Cloud Sales and Updates Financial Reporting Structure
Microsoft disclosed quarterly and annual sales figures for its Azure cloud unit for the first time, reporting $29.4 billion in quarterly sales and $101.9 billion for fiscal 2026. This places Azure behind Amazon Web Services, which reported $42.2 billion in quarterly cloud sales, but ahead of Google Cloud's $24.8 billion. Microsoft also announced a new two-segment reporting structure, combining cloud services, AI software, and traditional business software under "Agents and Infra," while Windows, Xbox, and advertising fall under "Devices and Consumer." CEO Satya Nadella highlighted AI's transformative impact on technology and business.
