In their quest for growth and profit, tech giants are focusing exclusively on AI. Investments are not just limited to products: the infrastructure that powers AI also plays an important role.
In their latest quarterly results, Samsung, Microsoft and Meta emphasize a strong focus on (AI), cloud infrastructure and premium products to drive future growth. The three companies published their quarterly results at the same time and relied on similar trends.
The results show that the technology industry sees AI not only as a key driver of innovation, but also as a strategic pillar for gaining market share and creating new revenue models.
Microsoft, Meta and Samsung all say they have made significant progress in adopting AI technologies, both in their products and their own infrastructure. The demand for AI solutions and services is growing rapidly, driven by the adoption of cloud-based AI solutions, AI integration into devices and services, and the increasing need for data centers. These technologies not only help companies improve their own performance, but also support customers with digital transformations and automation.
Samsung delivered strong performance in its Device Solutions (DS) business this quarter, largely due to growing demand for memory products such as DRAM and NAND, which are critical to AI and servers.
Samsung’s revenue rose 17 percent year-over-year, while its storage division saw 78 percent growth, largely driven by AI and server needs. Demand for premium smartphones, including foldable models and AI-enabled devices, also contributed to the results. Samsung expects to further expand its market share in high-value product segments such as storage and mobile devices with advanced AI capabilities.
Microsoft saw a sharp increase in cloud revenue, primarily due to the contribution of AI services within Azure, which account for significant revenue. Microsoft expects its AI business will soon generate more than $10 billion in annual revenue.
Microsoft is also focusing on Microsoft 365 and Teams and is seeing strong growth in subscription services. According to the company, the driver for this is the demand for AI-supported tools for the business market.
Meta reported nineteen percent growth in advertising revenue this quarter, driven in part by implementing AI-based optimizations for ad and content recommendations. According to the company, Meta AI and Llama have seen rapid adoption with more than 500 million monthly active users and helped increase user engagement on Facebook and Instagram.
Meta sees significant growth opportunities through AI and is committed to developing new generative AI tools for consumers and businesses.
A common trend among these companies is their focus on high-end and premium product lines. For example, Samsung focuses on the premium smartphone market and high-performance storage products, while Microsoft invests in gaming and enterprise AI solutions.
With Reality Labs, Meta is researching new technologies such as data glasses and mixed reality headsets and sees opportunities in wearables as a platform for AI. These strategies reflect the shift toward premium, high-margin segments where consumers are willing to pay more for innovative technologies.
Quarterly results from Samsung, Microsoft and Meta show a common direction towards AI, AI-powered cloud infrastructure and premium markets. Investments in AI technologies contribute to increased sales and market share, while expanding premium product lines helps increase profitability. These companies are committed to putting AI at the heart of their future strategies and are investing their capital in further growth in these segments.
