Cloud, Surface and Nokia Costs: Here Is Microsoft’s Q2 Chartfest!

Eat ’em while they’re hot! (Okay, they are never hot.)

Microsoft reported its second-quarter earnings yesterday, which were in line with Wall Street expectations. But they were below the same period last year, due to some costs, including related to its Nokia smartphone unit integration.

That said, there were some interesting things to note about its fast-growing — though small — cloud business and the growth of its Surface device sales.

As I sort through the docs to find something more profound to say, you can read along too! There are lots to choose from, including the transcript of the analyst call with CEO Satya Nadella.

Enjoy:
