Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

And, you know, how is that business going?

Bloomberg Tech

And if that wasn't the case, how should we look at Azure growth in the coming quarters?

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

I think those are the big questions that we need answered right now.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

Oh, actually, I mean, to be very honest, right now, the entire software sector has been absolute under threat because of a lot of what you are mentioning, whether it's cloud or whether it's open AI tools or whether it's open source.

Bloomberg Tech

I mean, look at the valuations of software companies.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

They've been completely destroyed over the last six to nine months.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

And a large portion of that is driven by what you just said.

Bloomberg Tech

So we are absolutely in flux right now as to who will own the final product.

Bloomberg Tech

And that's partially the reason when you have these valuations go all over the place.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

But I would comfortably say when it comes to somebody like a Microsoft's cloud portfolio or Amazon's cloud portfolio or Google's cloud revenue, I think these three companies will dictate a large portion of that market share

Bloomberg Tech

just because they have the capital to do it, they have massive market shares, and they have also the distribution.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

So these three, I think, will remain the way it is.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

The rest of the industry will shift around.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

We still think software has a place in this world, and there will be some damage, but it's not going to get completely blown up.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

And then let's see how that shapes up.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

So if you are just selling a tool out there in the public to an enterprise or a small business, you may not get the same kind of premium that you were before.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

Remember, software business with 80, 90 percent gross margin business.

Bloomberg Tech

But if you can spin some of that code up, you know, using white coding or internally, you may not need some of those tools out there.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

Now, we think.

Bloomberg Tech

At least on the enterprise side, having a core system of record, something like the one that's sold by SAP or a Workday, they're far more important and people are not going to rip them apart and use white coding tools internally out there.
