Microsoft's cloud computing revenue growth rate is slowing down, and it will increase its investment in the game field

The U.S. Stock Research Agency learned that according to the Financial Associated Press, after the end of The Eastern Time on Tuesday, Microsoft released the financial report for the second fiscal quarter of fiscal 2022. Microsoft's sales and profits grew in the fiscal second quarter, but revenue growth in Azure's cloud computing services business decelerated, raising concerns among some investors that the segment's growth rate had peaked. By division, Microsoft's smart cloud division, which includes server products such as Azure Public Cloud, GitHub, and Windows Server, generated $18.33 billion in revenue, up 25.5 percent, slightly higher than the $18.3 billion widely expected by analysts surveyed by StreetAccount.

After the earnings report, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, executive vice president and CFO Amy Hood and chief accounting officer Alice Jolla and other company executives attended the subsequent earnings call to interpret the main points of the earnings report and answer questions from analysts. Satya Nadella said that overall, we see signs of strong market demand, the epidemic has not affected the increase in market demand, because companies have encountered pressure to grow performance, and consumer activity has also been affected, after the epidemic has slowed down a little, economic activity has not recovered immediately, and as I said, the only way to drive economic growth and reduce costs is to use as much digital technology as possible, such as the cloud service PowerApps we provide. That is, part of the company's series of products, can greatly improve the productivity and productivity of different enterprises in different industries, as well as employees, so whether it is security, infrastructure, or commercial applications, we have seen a very strong growth trend, including our Teams service demand is also very good. Another area where growth is very good is gaming, where we will invest more in this consumer area to meet the growing usage needs of our customers and cope with increasingly rich business models. As of Tuesday's close, Microsoft stock had fallen 14 percent since early 2022 and was likely to see the stock's worst monthly performance since 2010. However, this is mainly due to the general sell-off of technology stocks in the context of the Upcoming Interest Rate Hike by the Federal Reserve. "We're the bulls here," said Christopher Ouimet, portfolio manager at Newtown Square investment firm Logan Capital Management, who remains firmly bullish on Microsoft's prospects.
