The platform's annual revenue surpassed $100 billion for the first time, and management guided for acceleration to approximately 45% in the first quarter of fiscal 2027.
The earnings report also highlighted a Microsoft 365 Copilot base exceeding 30 million paid seats, with subscription revenue accelerating more than 60% quarter over quarter. Commercial remaining performance obligation grew 84% to $678 billion, driven by enterprise demand outside artificial intelligence model labs.
