Microsoft is monetizing AI right now: Analyst

Microsoft (MSFT) reported third quarter earnings that topped Wall Street estimates on both the top and bottom lines, with its intelligent cloud revenue revenue posting surprising strength. As a result, shares of the tech giant are higher Thursday after the market close. CFRA Research Senior Equity Analyst Angelo Zino joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss Microsoft's results.

Zino attributes Microsoft's success to its strategic investments in cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, which have enabled the company to effectively monetize those offerings. He highlights that this achievement is not sector-wide, giving Microsoft a distinct competitive advantage and saying the strong numbers are likely to continue into 2025.

Addressing the potential impact of Microsoft's Copilot on its financial performance, Zino says "that's going to take time." He explains that the company still faces the challenge of persuading customers to adopt and "pay for these Copilots," an issue that extends beyond Microsoft to the entire enterprise software industry.
