This week, the Microsoft Corporation was up to share its latest earnings reports. Q2 FY26 was another winner for the company against the expectations set for it, with revenue and earnings per share (EPS) coming in above expectations.

Microsoft put out its Q2 FY26 earnings results on its investor relations website this week. For its revenue, it put up a total of $81.3 billion, which was more than enough to beat the Wall Street consensus of $80.16 billion. Meanwhile, the actual EPS came to $4.14 per share, which was also well above estimates of $3.88 per share, as well as the Whisper Number of $4.00 per share.

Microsoft has been one of the hardest hitters when it comes to the craze of AI technology and innovation. It has invested heavily in the likes of AI companies like Anthropic, while growing its infrastructure. The Trump administration also cleared the way for Microsoft to grow relatively unfettered alongside other AI companies.

With another huge quarter in the books, Microsoft doesn’t look like it’s slowing down anytime soon. Stay tuned to the Microsoft topic for new updates.
