Revenue and profits are completely different.
The one that is "better" is the one that says what you mean. A company can have a lot of revenue and no profits.
Microsoft doesn't "make a huge dividend." Companies PAY dividends to stockholders.
You really need to look up the financial terms.
Revenue
Net profit
Earnings per share
Dividends
All VERY
