#Microsoft:

The company pleased investors with positive financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter. Microsoft reported profit of $13.19 billion, or $1.71 a share, up from $8.87 billion, or $1.14 a share, a year ago. Revenue was $33.72 billion, up from $30.09 billion in the year-ago quarter. Investors had forecast earnings of $1.21 a share on revenue of $32.77 billion. Microsoft’s gains in the past two fiscal years have largely come from booming growth for its cloud-computing product, Azure. LinkedIn, Office and other cloud-software products, recorded revenue of $11 billion, up from $9.67 billion in the year-ago quarter. We are expecting the continuation of the bullish rally on Microsoft shares.
