While most other technology companies are focused on specific niches, Microsoft has a wide range of products and services with relevant percentages in its total net income. The company's main products are Microsoft Office, the Microsoft Azure cloud service, and the Windows System, which together account for more than 60% of the company's revenue.

Geographically 51% of revenue is generated on the domestic market in the United States and the rest by many countries, with none of them accounting for more than 10% of the company's total revenue.

For all that, Microsoft Corporation, without a doubt, has generated great returns for its shareholders over the years. However, we must be aware of the fact that the company is in an extremely volatile segment, which is technology, where sudden and abrupt changes usually occur.
