What this company does

AI

Microsoft sells software, cloud computing, productivity tools, gaming, and devices to consumers, businesses, and governments worldwide. Service revenue—dominated by Azure cloud, Microsoft 365 subscriptions, and other commercial cloud offerings—drives the business, generating $194 billion of the $242 billion in nine-month revenue and growing 23% year-over-year. The company is pouring cash into AI infrastructure, with capital expenditures jumping to $80 billion year-to-date from $47 billion, swelling property and equipment to $283 billion as it races to meet cloud and AI demand.

Key risks

AI
  • Capex surge: PP&E additions hit $80.1B over nine months vs $47.5B prior year, pressuring free cash flow despite AI-driven growth.
  • Balance sheet shift: PP&E ballooned to $283B (from $205B) while short-term investments fell $16B, concentrating capital in depreciating AI infrastructure.
  • Unearned revenue declined $13.6B fiscal YTD to $53.7B, signaling potential softening in commercial bookings momentum despite headline revenue growth.
