· Business · CNBC, Reuters
Microsoft will begin reporting Azure cloud revenue in dollar amounts to provide greater transparency into its business performance. The company is also consolidating its internal operating segments from three to two to better align with its consumption-based platform strategy. Azure has experienced significant growth driven by demand for artificial intelligence models, with analysts estimating that OpenAI contributed to half of its revenue growth in the 2026 fiscal year. CEO Satya Nadella stated that the shift reflects the profound impact of AI on the company's operations and business models.
