Microsoft’s cloud and AI businesses are doing pretty well — and their impact is being felt across the company. In its Q2 2025 earnings, Microsoft announced revenue of $69.6 billion for the quarter, up 12 percent year-over-year, and net income of $24.1 billion, which is up 10 percent year-over-year.

Microsoft reported lower-than-expected revenue growth for its AI and cloud divisions as scrutiny grows over tech's AI investments.

Microsoft on Wednesday posted disappointing Azure cloud business growth and large artificial intelligence expenses, hitting its shares as a recent surge in low-cost Chinese AI technology threatens to undermine the case for such big spending.
