Microsoft is now worth over $4trn, becoming only second firm ever to pass milestone
Microsoft has become only the second publicly traded company after Nvidia to surpass $4 trn (£3.03trn) in market valuation, after registering huge earnings. On Thursday, shares rose on Wall Street with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq climbing to new record highs. Stocks in Microsoft jumped after posting better-than-expected results, helped by its Azure cloud computing platform, which is a centrepiece of the company's artificial intelligence (AI) efforts. Shares in Facebook and Instagram's parent company, Meta, also surged after beating sales and profit targets. 2:08 Technology giants Apple and Amazon will report their results after Wall Street's close. Microsoft first cracked the $1trn (£760bn) mark in April 2019, but its move to $3trn (£2.27trn) took longer than technology giants Nvidia and Apple. Nvidia tripled its value in just about a year and clinched the $4trn milestone before any other company on 9 July. Apple was last valued at $3.12trn. In comparison, the biggest UK company by market value is drug manufacturer AstraZeneca, worth $235.97bn (£178.55bn). Companies ranked by market value (USD), according to 1. Nvidia (US) $4.43trn 2. Microsoft (US) $4trn 3. Apple (US) $3.12trn 4. Amazon (US) $2.47trn 5. Alphabet (US) $2.35trn 6. Meta (US) $1.95trn 7. Saudi Arabian Oil (Saudi Arabia) $1.56trn 8. Broadcom (US) $1.42trn 9. Berkshire Hathaway (US) $1.03trn 10. Tesla (US) $1.02trn 11. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (Taiwan) $1trn 29. Samsung Electronics (South Korea) $338.06bn 36. Alibaba (China) $284.62bn 52. AstraZeneca (UK) $235.97bn While sweeping US tariffs had investors worried about tighter business spending, Microsoft's strong earnings have shown that the company's books are yet to take a hit. Microsoft's multibillion-dollar bet on OpenAI is proving to be a game changer, powering its Office Suite and Azure offerings with cutting-edge AI and fueling the stock to more than double its value since ChatGPT's late-2022 debut. On Wednesday, the firm announced Azure sales surpassed $75bn (£56bn) on an annual basis, while Azure revenue jumped 39% in the April-June quarter. Overall revenue rose 18% to $76.4bn (£57.81bn) over the same period. It is also forecasting a record $30bn (£22.7bn) in capital spending over the first quarter to meet soaring AI demand..

Nasdaq posts record closing high with tech gains, rate cut optimism
NEW YORK, Aug 8 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks ended higher and Nasdaq scored a record closing high for the second straight day on Friday as technology-related shares, including Apple, gained amid optimism about expectations for rate cuts this year. The three major indexes also registered gains for the week. Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab shares climbed, extending recent gains. Earlier this week, U.S. President Donald Trump said Apple would invest an additional $100 billion in the U.S., bringing its total commitment to $600 billion over the next four years. The S&P 500 technology index (.SPLRCT), opens new tab also rose. Also helping the S&P 500, shares of Gilead Sciences (GILD.O), opens new tab rose after it raised its full-year financial outlook. With results in now from more than 450 of S&P 500 companies, estimated earnings growth for the second quarter was at 13.2% on Friday, up from 5.8% on July 1, according to LSEG. Recent weaker economic data has underpinned expectations for rate cuts, while investors are evaluating Trump's interim pick for a Federal Reserve governor. The president late in Thursday's session nominated Council of Economic Advisers Chair Stephen Miran to a short-term board seat following Adriana Kugler's abrupt exit last week, as he narrowed his shortlist to succeed Fed Chair Jerome Powell, whose term ends on May 15. Miran, who is often aligned with Trump, has previously suggested Powell was "too late" in lowering rates. Traders now peg about a 90% chance of the first rate cut hitting next month, according to CME Group's Fedwatch tool, with futures pointing to at least two cuts by year-end. "There are certainly investors who think if the Fed is going to cut rates then the overarching theme is, don't fight the Fed on lower rates," said Rick Meckler, partner at Cherry Lane Investments, a family investment office in New Vernon, New Jersey. "The other side of the equation has really been the tariffs, and how the tariffs turn out remains uncertain. They are still being negotiated, and I don't think too many people want to be short knowing there could be quick reversals on any of the tariff decisions that now seem problematic." According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab gained 49.75 points, or 0.78%, to end at 6,389.75 points, while the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC), opens new tab gained 208.72 points, or 0.98%, to 21,451.42. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI), opens new tab rose 219.69 points, or 0.50%, to 44,188.33. Trump's higher tariffs on imports from dozens of countries kicked in this week. Investors also monitored U.S.-India trade relations as New Delhi shelved fresh U.S. arms and aircraft purchases, according to three Indian officials, after Trump hiked tariffs on Indian exports to 50% this week. Shares of Expedia (EXPE.O), opens new tab rose after the company raised its annual forecast for gross bookings and revenue growth.
