Microsoft has officially crossed the $4 trillion market valuation mark, becoming the second company after Nvidia to achieve this milestone, thanks to a powerful earnings report and cloud-driven growth.
Following the announcement, Microsoft’s shares jumped by 8% in after-hours trading, pushing its stock price above $553. The company’s total market value now stands at an impressive $4.1 trillion.
This surge was fueled by a strong fourth-quarter performance, where the tech giant reported 18% revenue growth — its fastest in over three years — largely due to its Azure cloud platform.

For the first time, Microsoft disclosed actual Azure revenue, revealing $75 billion in cloud sales for fiscal 2025, up 34% from last year. The figure exceeded all analyst expectations.
The company’s overall revenue for Q4 reached $76.4 billion, beating the forecast of $73.8 billion. Its earnings per share hit $3.65, easily topping Wall Street’s prediction of $3.37.
CEO Satya Nadella credited cloud computing and artificial intelligence for the record-breaking numbers, saying Microsoft’s AI-driven cloud services are reshaping industries globally and setting the tone for future innovation.
