Microsoft has officially joined the exclusive $4 trillion market cap club, becoming only the second company in history—after Nvidia—to achieve this milestone. The tech giant’s valuation surged following a powerful earnings report that beat analyst expectations and highlighted its growing dominance in artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
The company reported $76.4 billion in revenue and $3.65 earnings per share for the last quarter, outperforming Wall Street estimates. A major highlight was the performance of Azure, Microsoft’s cloud platform, which generated over $75 billion in revenue—marking a 34% increase from the previous year.
This growth is driven by Microsoft’s deep investments in AI, including its ongoing partnership with OpenAI. The company has also committed to spending $30 billion in capital expenditures for the next quarter to expand its cloud infrastructure and meet rising demand.
Market analysts believe Microsoft’s success reflects the broader trend of AI reshaping the global tech landscape. Both Microsoft and Nvidia are now seen as frontrunners in the AI race, and their $4 trillion valuations signal investor confidence in the future of advanced computing.
The news helped lift overall tech stocks, pushing the Nasdaq and S&P 500 indexes to fresh highs.
