Microsoft Azure revenue reported a 50% growth, beating the 42% expected by the market. However, the company didn’t disclose the segment’s revenue in dollars. At the same time, the Intelligent Cloud business segment revenue figures came in at $14.60 billion, 23% higher than the $13.77 billion forecasted.

For the future, Microsoft expects its revenues to reach a high of $41.25 billion in the fiscal third quarter.
