Microsoft reaches $4 trillion market value, joins Nvidia
July 31 (UPI) -- Microsoft jumped past the $4 trillion market value mark Thursday, joining Nvidia as only the second public company ever to achieve the financial feat.
Its shares shot up almost 8% after the tech company reported earning $76.7 billion in revenue last quarter, with a net income earning of $27.2 billion, a 24% rise.
It also showed that its Azure cloud computing platform is bringing in an annual $75 billion, growing 34% year-over-year. All these positive fiscal wins brought the company over $4 trillion in after-hours trading Wednesday, and after opening over that value Thursday, it became a member of a now-two-member club with Nvidia.
Apple stands as the third most-valued company at around $3.2 trillion, but its stock has sunk so far in 2025, down around 17%. Its current financial status will be even clearer by the weekend, as it is slated to report its quarterly results Thursday after the closing bell.
"Cloud and AI is the driving force of business transformation across every industry and sector," said Microsoft chairperson and CEO Satya Nadella in a press release Wednesday. "We're innovating across the tech stack to help customers adapt and grow in this new era, and this year, Azure surpassed $75 billion in revenue, up 34%, driven by growth across all workloads."
The company declared itself "the leader in Cloud and AI infrastructure," in a social media post Wednesday.

Why Apple Might Be the Most Overlooked AI Play in the Market
When investors think of artificial intelligence (AI), companies like Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), and Google (GOOG) (GOOGL) often steal the spotlight. While the market is fixated on these obvious names, Apple (AAPL) may be the most underappreciated AI play today - but this could change quickly. Apple's June quarter showcased global demand and brand power. However, behind the headline numbers is Apple's rapidly expanding AI strategy. More News from Barchart Dear Nvidia Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for August 27 Options Traders Expected Palantir Stock's Tamest Earnings Reaction in a Year. Did They Get It Right? Tesla Gains on Elon Musk's New Pay Package. Is TSLA Stock a Buy? Tired of missing midday reversals? The FREE Barchart Brief newsletter keeps you in the know. Sign up now! Apple's stock has dipped 18.6% year-to-date, lagging the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite's ($NASX) gain of 9%. Is Apple stock a good buy now on the dip? Let's dive into the third quarter results to find out. A Robust Quarter Powered by More Than Just Hardware In Apple's June quarter, which ended June 28, iPhone revenue surged 13% year-over-year to $44.6 billion, thanks to the A18 Pro-powered iPhone 16 family, which is optimized for on-device AI workloads. Mac sales increased by 15% to $8 billion, boosted by the success of the M4 MacBook Air. While Apple's AI growth is more hardware-driven, its long-term monetization will be heavily reliant on Services, which generated record-breaking revenue of $27.4 billion (up 13%) in the quarter. Total revenue increased by 10% to $94 billion, while diluted earnings rose 12% to $1.57 per share. AI is enhancing its services, such as smarter suggestions in Apple Music, improved recommendations in Apple TV+, and developer tools for AI apps. Apple unveiled over 20 Apple Intelligence features at the 2025 Worldwide Developers Conference, which are now being rolled out to iPhones, iPads, Macs, and even AirPods. Quiet But Substantial Strategic AI Investments Apple CEO Tim Cook described AI as "one of the most profound technologies of our lifetime," and the company is investing heavily in it. Unlike most of its competitors, who rely heavily on the cloud for AI, Apple is developing a unique and potentially disruptive approach. Apple Intelligence is a deeply integrated on-device AI that prioritizes privacy, personalization, and a seamless user experience. With iOS 26, macOS 26, and iPadOS 26 all optimized for Apple Intelligence, the company is now integrating AI throughout its platforms. Recently, Apple announced a $500 billion investment in the U.S. over the next four years, with a focus on AI, advanced manufacturing, and silicon engineering. Apple has stepped into the AI race with full force, but it is doing so with financial strength. At the end of Q3, it had $133 billion in cash and marketable securities and $102 billion in debt. It returned $27 billion to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases. In short, Apple has the resources to fund large-scale AI research and development, make strategic acquisitions, and integrate AI into its ecosystem. However, Tim Cook did not hesitate to highlight tariffs as a real risk factor. In the June quarter, the company incurred tariff-related costs totaling $800 million. If current tariff rates remain unchanged, Apple estimates that $1.1 billion in tariff costs will have an impact on gross margin in the next quarter. Apple is vulnerable to geopolitical tensions, particularly with China, which could disrupt component supply chains and pricing. Cook emphasized that Apple is already reducing risk through geographic diversification of its supply chain. It is expanding its presence in India, both in terms of market penetration and manufacturing, to reduce its reliance on China. For the full fiscal year 2025, analysts forecast modest revenue growth of 6.1%, followed by an additional 4.8% increase in fiscal 2026. Earnings are expected to increase by 9.3% in fiscal 2025 and 7.8% in fiscal 2026, respectively. Trading at 25x forward 2026 earnings, Apple stock appears to be a reasonable buy now given its brand strength, robust financials, and growing presence in AI. What Does Wall Street Say About Apple Stock? On Wall Street, Apple stock is rated a 'Moderate Buy.' Of the 37 analysts covering AAPL, 18 recommend a 'Strong Buy,' three rate it a 'Moderate Buy,' 14 suggest a 'Hold,' and two say it is a 'Strong Sell.' With an average price target of $233.83, analysts project a potential upside of around 15% from current levels. The highest price target of $300 suggests the stock could rise as much as 47.5% from current levels. Apple isn't the loudest voice in the AI race. However, its AI features are poised to significantly increase user engagement, app ecosystem monetization, hardware upgrades, and subscription growth. Importantly, the company is doing all this while maintaining its brand moat and privacy-first promise, which reflects a significant long-term growth opportunity.

These 10 jobs are the least AI-safe, according to new Microsoft report: 5 are in customer service
It's no secret that artificial intelligence has changed the way people find information, talk to their peers and even plan their weekly to-do lists. The technology also has the power to change your job responsibilities — or get rid of them altogether. Take Microsoft's new report, "Working with AI: Measuring the Occupational Implications of Generative AI," which analyzed the adoption of AI by different workers and its possible impact on their jobs. Microsoft found that many desk jobs are at risk of being upended, as AI can complete a significant amount of their work duties. Researchers at the tech giant examined 200,000 anonymous and privacy-scrubbed conversations between their chatbot, Bing Copilot, and U.S. users collected between January and September 2024. "We find the most common work activities people seek AI assistance for involve gathering information and writing, while the most common activities that AI itself is performing are providing information and assistance, writing, teaching, and advising," researchers wrote in the report. Based on the findings, these are the top 10 least AI safe jobs — with the highest exposure to the technology: "Interpreters and Translators are at the top of the list, with 98% of their work activities overlapping with frequent Copilot tasks with fairly high completion rates and scope scores," the report said. "Other occupations with high applicability scores include those related to writing/editing, sales, customer service, programming, and clerking." The report also named the occupations that were the most AI proof, largely consisting of medical and blue-collar jobs, typically requiring more physical or hands-on work. Those include roles like phlebotomists and nursing assistants, to ship engineers and tire repairers. Microsoft's report doesn't mean a robot is coming to take your job tomorrow. However, if you want to stay competitive in today's ever-changing job market, you should learn everything you can about AI tools and how you can use them to benefit your employer, according to Jensen Huang, co-founder and CEO of Nvidia. "Every job will be affected, and immediately. It is unquestionable," Huang, 62, said at the Milken Institute's Global Conference 2025 on May 6. His $4.2 trillion company designs some of the computer chips that power popular AI tools. "You're not going to lose your job to an AI, but you're going to lose your job to someone who uses AI." Companies like Shopify, Duolingo and Fiverr are already urging — or requiring — that some, or all, of their employees use AI on the job. Duolingo co-founder and CEO Luis von Ahn and Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke have also said they would only increase headcount if a job cannot be automated. But in a world where chatbots can carry out many of the tasks once done by people, there are many skills that only humans can possess, including empathy, curiosity, social and emotional intelligence, leadership and relationship building. Fostering these skills is essential if you want to thrive in the age of AI, says Stanford business lecturer Robert E. Siegel. "The AI revolution is real, and rather than fearing this, we should see it as a chance to evolve and grow," Siegel wrote for CNBC Make It in June. "By cultivating human skills, understanding industry ecosystems, embracing change, and focusing on internal and external relationships, you can build a career that not only survives but thrives in the age of AI."
