Microsoft last week announced quarterly revenue of $14.4 billion and net income of $4.93 billion. In other words, Microsoft’s daily net income is about $55 million. That’s $55 million in pure profit every 24 hours. Do some quick math and you’ll learn it takes Microsoft only about…
10 hours or so (yes, hours!) to exceed Red Hat’s (Linux OS) (NYSE: RHT) quarterly net income of $20.5 million. four days to exceed Research In Motion’s (Makers of the Blackberry portable assitants) (NasdaqGS: RIMM) quarterly net income of $187.9 million. four days to exceed Starbucks’ (NasdaqGS: SBUX) quarterly net income of $205 million. one week to exceed Nike’s (NYSE: NKE) quarterly net income of $350.8 million. two weeks to exceed McDonalds’ (NYSE: MCD) quarterly net income of $762 million. two weeks to exceed Apple’s (NasdaqGS: AAPL) quarterly net income of $770 million. 18 days to exceed Google’s (NasdaqGS: GOOG) quarterly net income of $1 billion. 23 days to exceed Coca-Cola’s (NYSE: KO) quarterly net income of $1.26 billion. five weeks to exceed IBM’s (NYSE: IBM) quarterly net income of $1.85 billion. 10 weeks to exceed Wal-Mart’s (NYSE: WMT) quarterly net income of $3.9 billion. For a dead company, Microsoft’s profits certainly look lively.
