    Question

    Microsoft Q4 Revenue Hits $90B Driven by 43% Azure Growth

    Direct answer

    Microsoft's Q4 results provided a counter-narrative to recent tech selloffs. While the broader market focused on the sustainability of AI spending, Azure's 43% growth suggests enterprise demand for cloud AI remains high.
