  • Microsoft 2025年Q3财报:AI 驅動三大業務全面成長

    截至2025財年第三季,Microsoft(微軟)持續展現出穩健的業績表現與策略執行力,三大核心業務領域——雲端、AI與企業服務——同步推進,強化其在全球企業數位轉型浪潮中的領導地位。 本季營收年增13%,達701億美元;淨利潤上升18%,至258億美元;每股盈餘為3.46美元,優於市場預期。 (单位:百万美元)2025年Q32024年Q3收入生产力和业务流程29,94427,113智能云26,75122,141更多个人计算13,37112,604总计70,06661,858营业收入生产力和业务流程17,37915,143智能云11,0959,515更多个人计算3,5262,923总计32,00027,581 生產力與商業流程業務穩健成長 在2025财年第三季度,微软的生产力和业务流程部门实现了稳健的业绩,收入达到299亿美元,同比增长10%。这一增长主要受微软365商业产品的强劲需求推动,其中Office 365商业收入增长12%,得益于每用户平均收入(ARPU)和用户数量的增加。LinkedIn也贡献积极,收入增长7%,反映出在人才解决方案和广告方面的持续势头。Dynamics,尤其是Dynamics 365,实现了令人印象深刻的两位数增长11%,这得到了AI驱动的商业应用的增加采用的支持。 AI功能的集成,如Microsoft 365中的Copilot和Dynamics的增强,成为推动客户参与和追加销售机会的核心。Copilot利用微软的AI基础设施和大型语言模型,深化了Word、Excel和Outlook等Office应用的价值主张,导致企业采用率增加。该部门的盈利能力同样保持强劲,得益于基于云的订阅模式和更高价值的服务。随着微软继续将AI嵌入其生产力工具中,该部门预计将保持稳定增长,并对公司总体业绩作出重要贡献。 智能云端營收強勁、AI貢獻顯著 微软的智能云部门表现强劲,收入达到268亿美元,同比增长21%。这一增长主要由Azure及其他云服务收入增长33%推动,而AI服务对Azure的增长贡献了16个百分点。智能云的营业收入增长17%,达到111亿美元,突显了该部门的盈利能力。 微软在AI方面的战略重点是其智能云成功的一个重要因素。公司加速扩建数据中心,以满足对AI工作负载增长的需求,第三季度资本支出达214亿美元。这项投资支持AI服务在微软平台上的部署,包括Azure、Microsoft 365和GitHub。这些服务的AI集成不仅增强了其能力,还提高了客户的采用率,推动该部门的收入增长。展望未来,微软预计其智能云部门将继续增长,并预测下季度收入在287.5亿美元到290.5亿美元之间,主要受AI及云服务持续需求的推动。 個人運算業務回溫,娛樂與搜尋帶動成長 在2025财年第三季度,微软的更多个人计算部门报告收入为134亿美元,同比增长6%。这一增长主要由Windows OEM和设备收入增长3%推动,尽管由于关税不确定性导致库存水平升高,Windows PC的需求依然旺盛。此外,Xbox内容和服务收入增长了8%,由《使命召唤》和《我的世界》等游戏的强劲表现以及Xbox游戏通行证订阅量的继续扩展推动。搜索和新闻广告收入(不包括流量获取成本)也实现了显著的21%增长,由更高的每搜索收入和跨Edge及Bing平台的搜索量增加带动。 该部门还实现了营业收入增长21%,显示出盈利能力的提高。这些结果表明,微软有能力在其面向消费者的业务中实现增长,并凭借其多元化的产品组合应对市场挑战。 分析师重点问题 在2025财年第三季度的财报电话会议中,分析师提出了有关公司战略方向的几个问题,特别关注AI需求、数据中心投资和资本支出计划。以下是一些关键讨论:…
