Microsoft beat Wall Street’s expectations as questions over multibillion-dollar spending on AI mount
Microsoft reported its second-quarter earnings for fiscal year 2025 on Wednesday, beating market expectations even as questions over multibillion-dollar spending on AI continue to mount, spurred by DeepSeek’s shock to the US stock market just days ago.
The tech giant reported earnings per share of $3.23, an increase of 10% on a year earlier, and revenue of $69.6bn, an increase of 12%. Wall Street had expected $3.11 a share from revenue of $68.9bn.
