What was MSNOW’s net income and profit margin in the most recent fiscal year according to its SEC filings?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Microsoft’s official investor pages and the SEC filing excerpts provided in the search set do not include a directly quoted, consolidated “net income for the most recent fiscal year” figure in the snippets delivered here, so a precise SEC-confirmed number cannot be corroborated from those documents alone [1] [2] [3]. A third‑party aggregator in the search results reports Microsoft’s 2025 net income as $101.83 billion and describes this as a profit margin increase from the prior year, but that aggregator is not an SEC filing and is not the same as an official Form 10‑K or 10‑Q disclosure [4].
1. What the user is actually asking and why the document set matters
The user seeks two specific, audit‑grade datapoints: (a) Microsoft’s net income for its most recent fiscal year and (b) the company’s profit margin for that year, explicitly “according to its SEC filings;” that framing requires relying on Microsoft’s formal filings (Form 10‑K or 10‑Q) or SEC‑filed exhibits rather than press releases or third‑party summaries because SEC filings are the canonical, legally filed source of annual financial results [3] [1].
2. What the provided Microsoft documents disclose in these search snippets
The Microsoft investor relations pages and earnings call material in the search set emphasize quarterly and segment performance — for example, Q4 revenue of $76.4 billion and commentary on operating income and gross margin trends — but the snippets do not include a consolidated full‑year net income figure or a calculated net profit margin for the fiscal year in question within the quoted extracts [2] [1]. The Form 8‑K excerpt in the results documents a press release filing and reiterates the quarter end but, in the provided text, does not append a single‑line total net income for the fiscal year [3].
3. Third‑party figure found in the search set and its limitations
A third‑party data aggregator indexed in the results reports Microsoft’s 2025 net income as $101.83 billion and states this was roughly a 15.5% increase from the prior year [4]. That snippet provides a concrete dollar figure and a year‑over‑year percentage change, but it is not an official SEC filing and the source’s methodology, adjustments, and reconciliation to Microsoft’s Form 10‑K are not shown in the snippet; therefore it cannot be treated as the definitive “according to its SEC filings” answer without cross‑checking Microsoft’s Form 10‑K or a similarly filed exhibit [4] [1].
4. Why a direct SEC confirmation is not present in the supplied snippets
Multiple investor pages included in the search results carry standard investor‑relations disclaimers that the online summaries are unaudited or that complete detail is in SEC reports and filings, implicitly directing readers to the Form 10‑K/10‑Q for authoritative totals [1] [5]. The materials supplied here highlight revenue, operating income trends, and segment margins for quarters, but the excerpted content simply does not include the consolidated annual net income line or the net profit margin calculation for the full fiscal year in the snippets provided [2] [6].
5. Direct answer based on available materials and the honest limitation
Based on the documents shown in the search set, there is no SEC‑filed, snippet‑visible consolidated net income and profit‑margin number to cite directly from Microsoft’s own filings; the closest explicit dollar figure in the provided results is from a third‑party site that reports net income of $101.83 billion for 2025 [4]. Because the user specifically requested the figure “according to its SEC filings,” the correct journalistic response is that the supplied Microsoft and SEC excerpts do not contain the required consolidated net income and net margin lines in the quoted text, so the SEC‑sourced confirmation cannot be made from these snippets alone [1] [3].
