Microsoft shares surged in premarket trading while Meta fell sharply after investors delivered contrasting reactions to the companies' latest earnings, according to the report.

The report said Microsoft exceeded expectations with strong quarterly revenue and 43% growth in its Azure cloud business.

The company also reported that paid Microsoft 365 Copilot subscriptions had climbed to more than 30 million, suggesting its artificial intelligence investments are beginning to generate commercial returns. Analysts said Microsoft's large data center spending is now showing measurable results.

Meta, however, disappointed investors after missing earnings expectations and issuing weaker-than-expected revenue guidance for the current quarter, the report said. Free cash flow also plunged 91% year over year as the company continued to invest heavily in AI infrastructure.

According to the report, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Meta is exploring opportunities to lease excess computing capacity, but offered few details. Analysts said the company's AI strategy remains promising but lacks the clarity investors are seeking, contributing to the stock's decline.
