Microsoft’s latest quarterly report shows a rebound driven by strong artificial‑intelligence demand, with adjusted earnings of $4.27 per share beating the $4.06 consensus and revenue of $82.89 billion surpassing expectations. Analysts remain cautiously optimistic: Goldman Sachs sees the results as a first step toward reversing a multi‑quarter slump and maintains a “Buy” rating with a $610 price target; Citi projects a 46 % upside to $620, citing accelerating growth in Azure and Microsoft 365 Copilot; JP Morgan assigns an overweight rating with a $550 target (≈30 % upside); Wells Fargo forecasts a $625 target (≈47 % upside) after noting robust cash flow and AI momentum; and Barclays sets a $545 target (≈28 % upside), highlighting Azure’s modest acceleration and capital‑expenditure expansion for AI capacity. Despite the strong fundamentals, the stock fell about 5 % as investors weigh rising spending and the pace of future growth.

US Top News and Analysis | Microsoft's earnings report lands after stock's worst quarterly performance since 2008 AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Microsoft reported third‑quarter 2026 results that beat expectations, posting $82.9 billion in revenue (up 18% YoY) and an adjusted earnings per share of $4.27 versus the $4.06 consensus. Azure cloud revenue surged about 40% in constant‑currency terms, while the Intelligent Cloud segment generated $34.68 billion and the Productivity and Business Processes segment $35.01 billion, both exceeding estimates. The company now has over 20 million paid seats for the Microsoft 365 Copilot AI add‑on, and AI‑related revenue reached $37 billion, a 123% increase. Despite the strong top‑line, Microsoft’s operating‑margin guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter fell short of StreetAccount forecasts, and its 2026 capital‑expenditure outlook jumped to $190 billion (up 61% from 2025) driven by soaring memory prices. The firm also announced the end of its exclusive revenue‑share arrangement with OpenAI, while senior leaders in Office and gaming signaled upcoming retirements. As a result, Microsoft’s shares were down about 12% YTD, marking its worst quarterly performance since 2008.

#Microsoft #cloud #Azure ☁️ 🌩️ J'ai lu les 6 parties de ce témoignage d'un ancien ingénieur de Microsoft, et même si je ne comprends pas la totalité des aspects techniques d'Azure mentionnés, une chose est claire : Azure est un GIGANTESQUE feu de poubelle. 🔥🔥🔥 Si vous avez le temps, lisez, surtout jusqu'à la partie 6. C'est atterrant. Azure est en permanence à la limite de l'effondrement et ne tient que grâce à des interventions-pompier manuelles *continuelles*. https://sebsauvage.net/links/?qnz_0A

An ex-Azure engineer published six essays arguing Microsoft's cloud has been on life support since 2008, and the cause isn't bad code. It's bad people decisions. Rushed launch, post-launch talent exodus, no testing discipline, no architectural vision. Sound familiar to anyone who's worked in a place that ships first and staffs later? Now layer 2026 on top. Microsoft cut roughly 15,000 jobs in mid-2025. Coding agents are pumping out 4x more commits in 90 days. GitHub's unofficial uptime has slipped under 90% and the proposed fix is, wait for it, moving more of GitHub onto Azure. The same Azure the engineer says is held together with rushed decisions and wishful thinking. 🧠 The phrase that stuck with me is "knowledge dilution from high attrition." When the senior people who knew why a system was built that way leave, no LLM in the world can recover that context 🤖 More AI-written code does not mean less work. It means more code to review, test, deploy, and run, which means more compute and more humans needed downstream 📉 OpenAI signing an $11.9B compute deal with CoreWeave in March 2025 was the loudest "we don't trust your capacity" signal Microsoft has ever received from its closest partner 🪑 The bet that AI lets you cut headcount keeps colliding with the reality that AI generates work for humans faster than it removes it Every CIO I talk to is being pitched the same dream: fewer engineers, more agents, lower run rate. The Azure story is what happens when that math doesn't pencil out and the bill comes due in incidents instead of dollars. https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/04/azure_talent_exodus/ #Azure #AI #Leadership #security #privacy #cloud #infosec #cybersecurity #software #devops

AWS Middle East Central data centres have been attacked. This is a good reminder that the cloud is just someone else's computer. And maybe it doesn't make sense to rely on cloud providers to store your photos, backups, emails, etc, if those cloud providers are now legitimate military targets. Google Photos is now on the front lines 😬 #AWS #GCP #Azure #Gmail
