Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft earnings thread: Revenue and Profits higher than expected. XB1 HW Revenue down 29% from last year

 

That money...

SHOW ME THE MONEY! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ 24 75.00%
 
Could be higher... 0 0%
 
ONLY 7.6 BILLION IN PROFITS? HA! 8 25.00%
 
Total:32

Really hoping we get something from the Xbox division. But earnings have come in, and Microsoft has beaten profit expectations and revenue expectations. Profits were 0.98 cents/share vs 0.71 cents expected. This is adjusted to exclude things such as restructuring, so it could be a bit higher than it actually is. But with my calculations, that is just over 7.6 billion dollars in profit for THIS quarter alone. Revenue was 24.7 billion vs 24.3 billion, so MS also beating on its revenue (which have been prone to misses before). Microsoft's stock isn't really reacting that much to the news, currently it is up 0.5% in after hours trading.

Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Its up 2.16% now in after hours, but to be fair it has already risen by 34% in the last 12 months.  Market cap will pass $600bn at some point in the not too distant.

Stellar results.

Net income was $6.5 billion GAAP, and $7.7 billion non-GAAP for the quarter. 

Annual profit is $21.2 billion (up 5bn on last year)

Gaming revenue up 4% this quarter.  Gaming revenue for qtr is $1.65bn  ($9bn for the year)

53 million active live users.

Really hoping they give us something for gaming (like sales figures).

good news for people who own MS stocks, which is only kowenicki



Man, there is a reason why MS is the third most valuable company in the world and each quarterly results show that.



Proud to be a Californian.

Last quarter was disappointing if I recall? So the market might have toned down their optimism for this quarter.

Still good results regardless.

Also thanks to tax breaks and "restructuring". We'll see how long that Cloud money will last you MS.

 A lot more than just Kowenicki, MS were significantly undervalued 2 years ago and have been undervalued somewhat for the 3 years proceeding that too, I would think many investors that invest with their head rather than emotion would have been buying, I certainly did.



Hasn't the Xbone sales dropped off a ton this year? They must make a killing on gaming services.
