From marketbrief.now
AI;DR
Microsoft reported a 19% increase in fiscal first quarter revenue to $92.3B and included estimated costs for its 60,000-worker voluntary buyout program in its cost guidance. The company's overall headcount fell 2% year-over-year, and CFO Amy Hood did not disclose the expected cost of the buyouts or projected departures. Cloud and AI chief Scott Guthrie stated in an internal Q&A that Microsoft will continue sponsoring visa and green card holders while working with the US administration for clarity on the suspension of its PERM filings.
