The IT company joins the flea champion among the groups that have crossed a level never yet reached in market capitalization.
Three weeks after NVIDIA, Microsoft’s turn to cross a symbolic CAP on the stock market: that of the $ 4000 billion in valuation. The group led by Satya Nadella is the second in the world to exceed this threshold, and should not be competed as soon as possible: Apple, the third world capitalization, is “only” $ 3120 billion.
Like the king of fleas dedicated to artificial intelligence, Microsoft owes largely to the Revolution to his strong pushing on the stock market. Since January, its course has increased by almost 30%, and opened up 6.25% this Thursday in Wall Street. Investors are enthusiastic after the publication of sparkling financial results for the fourth quarter of his fiscal year. Its turnover has climbed 18% in one year, to $ 76.4 billion, while its net profit jumped 24%, to $ 27.2 billion.

These performances are higher than market expectations, and have even accelerated for Microsoft’s activities in the cloud (+27%). The whole segment exceeded $ 100 billion in revenue over the tax year. It is more than the annual turnover of Microsoft ten years ago.
“It’s a full card this quarter for Microsoft. But we believe that the group barely enters its next phase of AI monetization ”as more and more companies decide to adopt this technology. The American group notably integrates its Copilot language model into its entire office suite, against an increase in the subscription billed to professionals. Microsoft plans to further increase its investments in order to build data centers dedicated to AI almost around the world.
