Get smart on it
Microsoft generated $10 billion in revenue from commercial arrangements with OpenAI during its first quarter of fiscal 2027, representing nearly 11 percent of Microsoft's total quarterly revenue. This revenue includes payments from cloud computing services and revenue-sharing arrangements, reflecting deep financial ties between the two companies despite increasing competition for the same customers. The companies restructured their partnership in October 2025, when Microsoft relinquished exclusive control to allow OpenAI to work with competing cloud providers while OpenAI committed to purchasing $250 billion in additional services. Microsoft's ownership stake in OpenAI has declined from approximately 27 percent to 24 percent since that recapitalization.
