全球疫情带来的居家办公进一步助推了微软业绩。10月27日，微软发布2021财年一季报，在截至9月30日的3个月中，微软营收增长12%至372亿美元，净利润138.9亿美元，财务数据都高于华尔街预期。软股价涨1.51%，报收213.25美元。推动微软股价上涨最重要的原因是微软云计算服务Azure的更新。微软介绍，受微软云服务Azure营收增长48%的提振，公司的服务器产品和云服务综合营收增长了22%。Azure在微软所属的单元“智能云”营收130亿美元，比去年同期增长20%，它也成为微软本季度表现最好的三个单元之一。路透社称，微软将几套软件和服务，如Office和Azure，打包为“商业云”，投资者密切关注该指标来评估其向大型企业的销售进展。微软的商业云业务毛利率为71%，上年同期为66%。另外表现最好的两个单元中，其一是包括了Office办公软件和职场社交平台领英(LinkedIn)的“生产力与商业流程”——营收123亿美元，同比增长11%；其二是包括了Windows系统和Xbox游戏机的“更个性化的计算”——营收118亿美元，同比增长 6%。微软第三季度财报中还有一些亮点：Surface笔记本电脑营收比去年同期增长37%；必应搜索(Bing)收入下降，公司称这是因为剔除了流量获取开支的搜索广告收入减少了10%；商业云营收152亿美元，比去年同期增长31%；领英的季度营收增长16%；游戏营收比去年同期增长22%。在消费者PC端的需求上，非专业Windows电脑代工生产(OEM)比去年同期营收增长31%，但专业Windows电脑的产品线代工生产同比下降22%。所有门类加上后，微软代工生产收入总体降低了5%。微软的视频会议协作软件Teams用户数量也大幅增加。微软CEO纳德拉称，Teams现在的日活跃用户超过1.15亿，4月份的日活跃用户为7500万。《华尔街日报》援引纳德拉的话称，很明显，人们在工作的时间、地点和方式上将需要更多灵活性。他表示：“下一个十年企业的经济表现将取决于它们数字化转型的速度。”报道还称，微软预计，新冠疫情时期云计算服务、电子游戏和电脑需求的激增至少会在今年剩余时间持续。

"Λόγω των επιδράσεων του COVID-19, υπάρχει μεγάλη αβεβαιότητα στην παγκόσμια οικονομία. Η Microsoft, παρόλο αυτής της αβεβαιότητας, συνεχίζει να επενδύει με διαφορετικούς τρόπους. Η εταιρία συνεχίζει και επενδύει στα παραδοσιακά της προϊόντα και τεχνολογίες, όπως τα Windows και το Office. Επίσης, επενδύει σε σύγχρονες λύσεις cloud αλλά και τεχνητής νοημοσύνης, όπως το Azure αλλά και άλλες σχετικές υπηρεσίες. Παράλληλα, επεκτείνεται με εξαγορές αλλά και ανάπτυξη σε άλλους τομείς, όπως με το LinkedIn, το Bing, το Edge, το HoloLens αλλά και γενικότερα υπηρεσίες Internet-of-Things. Αυτή η πολυδιάστατη στρατηγική, επισημαίνει την δέσμευση της εταιρίας στην καινοτομία, αλλά παράλληλα συνοδεύεται από κινδύνους. Ένας κίνδυνος, για παράδειγμα, προέρχεται από τη πολυπλοκότητα της υλοποίησης τεχνολογικών έργων, αλλά και από την αβεβαιότητα ως προς την ανταπόκριση της αγοράς σε αυτά τα έργα. Επιπλέον, υπάρχει μεγάλος ανταγωνισμός στην υλοποίηση τεχνολογικών έργων. Η εταιρία δίνει μεγάλη έμφαση στην ανάπτυξη λύσεων Cloud και τεχνητής νοημοσύνης, κλάδους στους οποίους η Microsoft στοχεύει να ηγηθεί. Ωστόσο, όπως προαναφέρθηκε, ο έντονος ανταγωνισμός και οι απαιτήσεις καθιστούν την μακροπρόθεσμη επιτυχία της εταιρίας εξαρτώμενη από την συνεχή τεχνολογική υπεροχή αλλά και την ικανότητα προσαρμογής της στις μεταβολές της αγοράς. Τα παραπάνω επιβεβαιώνονται από τα χρηματοοικονομικά αποτελέσματα της εταιρίας. Συγκεκριμένα, η Microsoft κατέγραψε μη πραγματοποιηθείσα ζημία ύψους 201 εκατομμυρίων δολαρίων το τρίτο τρίμηνο του 2020, σε αντίθεση με κέρδος 577 εκατομμυρίων δολαρίων κατά την αντίστοιχη περίοδο του 2019, γεγονός που αντανακλά τη μεταβλητότητα και την αβεβαιότητα που μπορεί να συνοδεύουν τις επενδυτικές της επιλογές."
