The ultra-exclusive $4 trillion club now has a new member.
Microsoft’s shares surged over 5% on Thursday after delivering earnings that exceeded Wall Street expectations, pushing its market value past the $4 trillion milestone.
The software giant now stands alongside Nvidia, which crossed the same threshold earlier this month.
Driving Microsoft’s strong performance was its Azure cloud computing business, which posted a 34% year-over-year sales increase, bringing in over $75 billion in fiscal 2025. Overall, revenue grew 18%, the company’s fastest pace in more than three years. Notably, Microsoft revealed Azure revenue in dollar terms for the first time.
Both Microsoft and Nvidia have been major winners in the artificial intelligence boom, overtaking Apple in market capitalization. Apple now ranks third at roughly $3.2 trillion, with shares down 17% this year amid concerns the iPhone maker is falling behind in AI innovation. Apple’s quarterly results are due after Thursday’s market close.
In 2025, Nvidia has been the standout performer among tech giants, gaining 33% year-to-date. Its high-performance GPUs power the large language models developed by Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, Meta, and others — and are at the heart of the massive data centers these companies are rapidly expanding.
Nvidia is set to report its next earnings in late August.
