Against other US software and internet giants, Microsoft’s combination of cloud services, productivity software and gaming gives it a diversified earnings mix that differs from more narrowly focused peers in online advertising or e-commerce.
How the company makes money
Microsoft generates revenue across several major segments, including its Azure cloud platform, Office 365 productivity suite, Windows licenses, LinkedIn, GitHub and its gaming ecosystem under the Xbox brand. Enterprise subscriptions and cloud contracts are key drivers of recurring cash flow.
