Microsoft reported annual revenue of $331 billion for fiscal 2026, with cloud revenue at $214 billion and Azure crossing $100 billion for the first time. CEO Satya Nadella announced a major overhaul of the Copilot AI assistant, introducing new capabilities called Home, Code, and Autopilot, designed to transform it into a single super-app for office workers. The revamped Copilot embeds Word, Excel and PowerPoint directly, and adds a coding tool powered by GitHub Copilot technology.
The company also introduced Autopilot, an always-on AI agent that works in the background, and FinOps for AI to help enterprises manage AI spending. Microsoft shares rose 4% to $517.48 on the news. The rollout begins through the Frontier programme, with early access to Code starting end-September. Microsoft said paid M365 Copilot licenses surpassed 30 million, up from 20 million in the prior quarter.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three sources report the same facts: record revenue, the Copilot overhaul, and the stock rally. Livemint leads with the share price jump, The Hans India leads with the record financials and Nadella's super-app tease, while Times Now leads with product features. None adopt a critical or promotional stance. The uniform coverage reflects the straightforward corporate-news nature of the story. The key number to track is Copilot paid license growth, which will indicate whether the overhaul drives enterprise adoption.
