Microsoft CFO Amy Hood Offloads 7,305 Shares at $544.37 as CEO Satya Nadella Sells Over $43 Million

Microsoft Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood sold 7,305 shares at an average price of $544.37 for just under $4 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission made on Tuesday. Finbold reported the sale on November 10.

Amy Hood's Three Sales Since September

The filing covered Hood's first insider trade in approximately a month. Hood is responsible for three of Microsoft's four most recent trades, according to Finbold. She sold 7,305 shares on October 13 at $545.42 and 41,674 shares on September 14 for over $20.76 million.

Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella made the other notable sale since early September, offloading 86,525 shares for more than $43 million. Finbold reported that Hood has made no other such insider trades since the start of 2026.

Anthropic, the artificial intelligence lab, plans to hold its initial public offering at the end of next week, an event Finbold said could trigger volatility for big tech. Anthropic announced its own Sheets, Whiteboards, and Interactive Connectors on November 10, a release Finbold described as competing directly with Microsoft. Brian Boland, a former Facebook vice president, argued in Business Insider that Anthropic's IPO is reckless, citing Facebook's neglect of safety for revenue growth and urging a delay to address safety protocols and audited financials.

Microsoft's Workforce and AI Revenue

Microsoft employs over 220,000 people globally, according to akta.pro company records. The same records show quarterly revenue of $82.9 billion in Q2 FY2026, up 18% year-over-year, and an AI business that surpassed a $37 billion annual revenue run rate with 123% year-over-year growth.

Microsoft joined Anthropic, OpenAI, Amazon, and Meta as an anchor partner in RAISE US in June 2026, a bipartisan nonprofit with over $500 million in funding to retrain American workers for AI-driven workplace disruption. Microsoft contributed $25 million to the AI Education Fund, while Anthropic committed $10 million.

Earlier Microsoft AI and Cloud Moves

On November 11, Forbes reported that CIOs from Boeing, Microsoft, and other companies discussed AI returns, emphasizing governance and workflow redesign over model selection and warning against over-automation. AvePoint and Microsoft expanded their partnership on November 10 to address AI governance, security, and data protection as autonomous agents become more common, Aijourn reported. Telecompaper reported that Microsoft will raise cloud prices in India and New Zealand from January 2027, with on-premise prices in India rising up to 20% and cloud services up to 15.7% more.
