With revenue of $46.2 billion (up from $21.1 billion), operating income of $19.1 billion (up from $4.2 billion), and earnings per share of $2.17 (up 49.1% from the previous quarter), Microsoft Corp. has had a successful year so far. Net income amounted to a whopping $16.5 billion (up 47.1% from the previous quarter).

Revenue from the modern and innovative Dynamics 365 solutions and cloud services rose by as much as 33% compared to 26% in the last quarter. This was primarily driven by Dynamics 365 cloud revenue growth of 49% (previously 45%).
A remarkable fact is that the revenue growth of Microsoft Dynamics 365 grew more than three times faster than the average market growth for ERP and CRM solutions. And that is a very impressive achievement.
