Microsoft reports fiscal Q3 FY2026 earnings with $83B revenue
Microsoft posted $83 billion in revenue and $32 billion in net income for fiscal Q3 FY2026 (January-March 2026), announced April 29. Azure growth lagged Amazon and Google per Barclays analyst Raimo Lenschow, but CFO Amy Hood guided 39-40% Azure growth ahead. This signals cloud strength persists despite competitive pressures—most miss how OpenAI investment losses hit net income by $3.1 billion this year versus $523 million last.

Intelligent Cloud drove segment gains in recent fiscal quarters, fueled by AI demand.
