Microsoft (MSFT) reported third quarter earnings that topped Wall Street estimates on both the top and bottom lines, with its intelligent cloud revenue revenue posting surprising strength. As a result, shares of the tech giant are higher Thursday after the market close. CFRA Research Senior Equity Analyst Angelo Zino joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss Microsoft's results. Zino attributes Microsoft's success to its strategic investments in cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, which have enabled the company to effectively monetize those offerings.
