Microsoft has become the second company in the world whose market value has exceeded USD 4 trillion. This was reported by The Verge with reference to stock exchange data for July 31, when the corporation's shares increased by almost 10%.
Investors reacted positively to Microsoft's financial report for the final quarter of the 2025 fiscal year. Revenue amounted to USD 76.4 billion, net profit - USD 27.2 billion, which is 18% and 24% more, respectively, compared to last year.
The company for the first time publicly disclosed the profits of the Azure cloud business, which brought in more than USD 75 billion for the year.
Interestingly, Microsoft set a historical record just a few weeks after announcing large-scale layoffs - in July the company laid off about 9,000 employees, which is less than 4% of the staff. The gaming division suffered the most: several projects were canceled, including Perfect Dark, Everwild, a new MMORPG from the creators of The Elder Scrolls Online, and other unannounced developments.
NVIDIA became the first company to cross the USD 4 trillion mark.
As previously reported, as part of cost optimization, Microsoft canceled the game Perfect Dark and is closing the studio The Initiative.
