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

I personally think it's a supply problem, but it's a temporary problem.

But as we know right now, the trade is to sell software and buy semis.

And I think I don't see that changing tomorrow morning.

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

No, I think it's usually high expectations and the fact that they only met Azure growth rates, which was 38%.

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

I think that's probably weighing on the stock because one would have expected them to blow out that number.

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

It has been around 39% the last couple of quarters.

Bloomberg Talks

So I think that's where a little disappointment could be.

Bloomberg Talks

But that could also be because of supply constraints.

Bloomberg Talks

That's something we have highlighted in our research before.

But, you know, if you look at some of the other numbers, such as RPO, you mentioned above 600 billion, that's very impressive.

And we already know the capex was going to go up.

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

So I think in tandem, that's the only number that sticks out that they didn't beat by a decent amount.

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

I think the question I have is, you know, there's a big number that, you know, that 690, 600 plus billion RPO you mentioned.

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

There is a large portion of that comes from OpenAI.

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

So the big question is, you know, how is OpenAI going to fund this thing?

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

Do they have the capital to actually fund, let's say, a 200 plus billion dollar commitment?

Bloomberg Talks

But other than that, what are other clients spending that are not open AI?

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

And, you know, how is that business going?

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

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

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

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