Microsoft Corp. on Thursday reported better-than-expected adjusted earnings and revenue for its latest quarter, as its cloud business continued to drive growth.
Shares rose 5.5% to $54.91 a share in after-hours trading.
Microsoft, like many mature tech companies, has been struggling to grow. The software maker is focusing on its cloud-services segment, which includes services like Azure and was recently broken out into a new reporting segment.
Revenue for Microsoft's "Intelligent Cloud" segment rose 5% to $6.34 billion. On a constant-currency basis, revenue grew 11% in the fiscal second quarter but slowed from the 14% growth it posted in the first quarter.
That comes as Microsoft's best-known business--software for personal computers--continued to weaken. That segment, which also includes its Xbox videogame consoles and popular Surface Pro, posted a 2% decline in revenue excluding currency impacts.
In all for the period ended Dec. 31, Microsoft reported a profit of $5 billion, or 62 cents a share, down from $5.86 billion, or 71 cents a share, a year earlier.
On an adjusted basis, earnings rose to 78 cents from 70 cents a year earlier.
Revenue fell 10% to $23.8 billion, or $25.69 billion on an adjusted basis.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected adjusted per-share profit of 71 cents and revenue of $25.26 billion.
