Microsoft transformed under CEO Satya Nadella from a Windows-focused company to a cloud and AI leader, with Azure surpassing $100 billion in revenue by 2026. A $1,000 investment 10 years ago would now be worth over $10,000, reflecting a 902% return, though recent years show slower growth due to rising capital expenditures.

Investors should watch free cash flow and capex trends closely for signs of sustained profitability.
