After Tuesday's trading session, technology giant Microsoft released its first quarter results for the fiscal year 2024 as of September 30, giving the market a very impressive "answer sheet". Overall, Microsoft's performance in all its businesses in the first quarter exceeded Wall Street's expectations, as its cloud computing and personal computer businesses continued to grow as customers hoped to use their artificial intelligence products. The performance guidance provided by the company is also generally higher than the analysts' goals. After the release of this financial report, Microsoft's stock price rose nearly 4% in after hours trading. So far this year, the stock has risen by 37.96%.
