Microsoft's financial results surprise with figures above expectations

On Wednesday Microsoft released its financial results for its last quarter of 2018, involving sales of the company in the period between October and December. And, by the way, she was the first one who did not feel the effects of the crisis in China in its operations.

The final numbers of the Redmond company slightly outperformed analysts' expectations, with total revenue of $ 32.5 billion (slightly above the expected $ 32.49 billion), with $ 13 billion coming from (Windows and Office products), which represented a 7% increase over the same period in 2017. Already the US $ 10.1 billion were related to business productivity improvement processes (cloud services for integration of company processes), which meant an increase of 13% over the previous year. US $ 9.4 billion is related to cloud services (where cloud servers come in and Azure), which meant a 20% increase over the same period last year.

In addition, the company made a gross profit of U $ 10.3 billion in its operations, which shows an increase of 18% compared to the same period in 2017, and U $ 8.6 billion in net income. The individual value of the company's stock also practically remained in expectation of the shareholders, who expected a value of $ 1.09 per paper, while the company closed the period with a value of $ 1.08.

As has been the case in previous reports, this positive result was driven by the growth of the company's cloud services, such as Office 365 and Azure. While Office 365 saw a 34% increase in revenue, Azure grew astonishingly 76% over the same period.

Thus, Microsoft should return to its shareholders the value of $ 9.6 billion, between repurchase of shares and profit sharing for the period.
