Microsoft's Mandalorian Moment: This Is the Way to Cloud Growth!

Credits Where Credits Are Due

Alright listen up foundlings. The reports came in and even I Din Djarin gotta admit Microsoft pulled a fast one. Revenue up earnings up... it's enough to make a Mandalorian consider investing instead of just hauling bounties. They raked in around 70 billion credits in their fiscal 2025 third quarter trouncing what the Street expected. Earnings per share jumped to $3.46 which is more than enough to get you a decent blaster on Nar Shaddaa. This is the way… to make money apparently.

Azure: Not Just a Pretty Nebula

The real kicker? Azure. That cloud computing gig of theirs went hyperdrive. Some were saying Microsoft was losing its way in the AI wilderness wandering like a Jawa in a sandstorm. But Azure's revenue growth accelerated like a souped up speeder. Turns out folks are still keen on storing their digital spice in the cloud. Who knew? Not I that's for sure.

Whispers in the Datacenter

There were rumors flying around the Outer Rim that Microsoft was pulling back on data centers canceling leases the whole shebang. Some said demand was plummeting like a TIE fighter with no wings. Turns out those whispers were just Bantha poodoo. Azure silenced the doubters. Guess they’re building those centers faster than Jawas strip a Sandcrawler. I have spoken.

Office 365: The Original Trilogy

Let's be real Microsoft is still riding high on Office 365. That's their bread and butter the Mando's helmet of global productivity. And with their investment in OpenAI they're trying to stay ahead of the game. They're even making waves in the video game biz – talk about diversification! I wonder if they have a Mandalorian game coming out. Now that would be a proper bounty.

By The Numbers

Productivity and business processes are doing well. Microsoft 365 is still bringing in the dough. LinkedIn revenue is up. Even the 'Intelligent Cloud' segment despite some hiccups is making a killing largely thanks to Azure's growth. And don't forget about Xbox and the gaming sector. They are making credits everywhere! This is the way… to diversify your galactic credits.

The Outlook Is Strong With This One

Looking ahead Microsoft is predicting even more growth especially with Azure. They're expecting Azure revenue to keep soaring faster than the Razor Crest avoiding Imperial entanglements. So if you're looking for a safe bet in this galaxy Microsoft might just be it. Just remember always check your tracking fob before investing. This is the way.
