About
Microsoft Corporation is a Redmond, Washington-based global technology company — publicly traded on NASDAQ (NASDAQ: MSFT) as an S&P 500 Information Technology component and the world's second-largest publicly traded company by market capitalization (~$3.2 trillion) — providing cloud computing, enterprise software, developer tools, gaming, and AI-integrated productivity applications to businesses, consumers, governments, and developers worldwide through approximately 228,000 employees. In fiscal year 2024 (ending June 2024), Microsoft reported revenue of $245.1 billion (+16% year-over-year), with the Intelligent Cloud segment (Azure cloud platform) generating $105.4 billion (+22%), Productivity and Business Processes (Microsoft 365, Teams, LinkedIn, Dynamics) generating $77.7 billion (+12%), and More Personal Computing (Windows, Xbox, Surface, Search) generating $61.8 billion (+17%). Microsoft completed the $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard in October 2023 — the largest gaming acquisition in history — adding Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Candy Crush, and King's mobile games to the Xbox ecosystem. For fiscal year 2025, Microsoft guided continued 13-15% revenue growth driven by Azure's AI infrastructure demand (Azure AI customers grew 100%+ year-over-year), Microsoft 365 Copilot enterprise AI assistant adoption, and GitHub Copilot developer AI tool revenue. CEO Satya Nadella's "mobile-first, cloud-first" strategy, refined to "AI-first" with the OpenAI partnership, has created Microsoft's most competitive product positioning since the Windows/Office era.
