Changes in US stocks | Microsoft (MSFT.US) rose more than 3%, Azure's annual sales exceeded 100 billion US dollars

The Zhitong Finance App learned that on Thursday, Microsoft (MSFT.US) rose more than 3% to $512.33. According to the news, on September 3, Microsoft announced that it will disclose Azure sales on a quarterly basis starting in fiscal year 2027 and merging the smart cloud, productivity, and business process business into the “agent and infrastructure” division; Azure sales for the fiscal year ending June exceeded 100 billion US dollars, up from 75 billion US dollars in the previous fiscal year, accounting for about 30% of the company's total revenue.

This increase in information disclosure is expected to provide investors with a clearer reference benchmark to measure Microsoft's commercialization progress in the field of artificial intelligence. Azure has been viewed by the market as an important weather vane for Microsoft's AI business, and analysts have long been unable to accurately evaluate it due to insufficient information.
