Amazon and Alphabet Both Cost More on Next Year's Earnings Than on Last Year's
On the surface, the numbers look backwards. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) trades at about 22 times earnings and about 30 times the earnings expected of it over the next year. Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL) trades at about 18 times earnings and about 27 times forward. For both, next year costs more than last year. Ordinarily, that arithmetic means one thing -- profits are expected to fall. Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again.

Never miss an important update on your stock portfolio and cut through the noise. Over 7 million investors trust Simply Wall St to stay informed where it matters for FREE. Alphabet (NasdaqGS:GOOGL) faces more than 3,000 youth addiction lawsuits in US federal court after a key ruling denied dismissal efforts by major social media companies.

Alphabet Stock Drops 1.5% as DeepMind Turnover Deepens
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG), the parent of Google, YouTube and Google Cloud, fell approximately 1.5% in Tuesday's regular session as investors absorbed a shake-up at the heart of Google's AI empire. Demis Hassabis stepped down as Google DeepMind's chief executive while staying on as chairman, according to Investor's Business Daily, while veteran AI scientist Jeff Dean left to start a new venture. That is a lot of movement at the top of Alphabet's most important growth engine. DeepMind is not some side project anymore. It sits right in the middle of Google's battle to dominate the next generation of AI. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Sign with ACHR. Is GOOG fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. Koray Kavukcuoglu, Google's chief AI architect, is taking over many of Hassabis's responsibilities and will report directly to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai. And the timing could hardly be more important. Alphabet just pushed its 2026 capital-spending forecast to $195 billion$205 billion, up from $180 billion$190 billion.

Get insights on thousands of stocks from the global community of over 7 million individual investors at Simply Wall St. Alphabet stock has returned 174.6% over the past three years, yet current valuation checks suggest the market price still sits below an intrinsic value estimate based on a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) approach. With both the DCF and market multiples pointing to an undervalued stock, the question for investors is how to weigh that against rising capital needs and growing regulatory scrutiny. Alphabet's 174.6% gain over three years highlights how strongly the share price has already responded to its core search, cloud and AI businesses. The push to fund large scale AI infrastructure, including a US$25b bond issue, can support future cash flows but also raises questions about returns on this higher debt load and regulatory risks tied to Alphabet's platforms. Alphabet screens as undervalued on both a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) view and earnings multiples, yet a mixed set of checks, with the company passing 3 of 6 valuation tests, leaves a more nuanced picture than a simple bargain, as shown by its 3 out of 6 value score. The issue now is whether the current discount to

Analyst Warns Alphabet (GOOG) Faces Two Major AI Problems; SpaceX (SPCX) a Better AI Bet?
Alphabet shares made headlines recently after Google (NASDAQ:GOOG, GOOGL) AI division saw a series of high-profile departures. Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, recently said on CNBC that the brain drain at Google should not be ignored, arguing that the departures of key AI researchers could have implications beyond the headlines. Munster said Google has seen about six major departures over the past three months and that the loss of talent could affect the company's culture of innovation and its ability to develop future AI models. He also pointed to signs that Gemini has started to slip in AI model rankings relative to competitors. He thinks these developments are not a positive trend. At the same time, Munster highlighted significant improvements from Grok, saying he expects the AI model to potentially break into the top three models as new versions are released. Grok was developed by xAI and is integrated into X, while xAI is now part of SpaceX following SpaceX's acquisition of the AI company. SpaceX: An Attractive AI Bet? The market is figuring out SpaceX isn't really a space company. The Space business contributed just 12% of Q2 revenue and analysts

Boeing upgraded, Under Armour downgraded: Wall Street's top analyst calls
Boeing upgraded, Under Armour downgraded: Wall Street's top analyst calls The most talked about and market moving research calls around Wall Street are now in one place. Here are today's research calls that investors need to know, as compiled by The Fly. Top 5 Upgrades: Argus upgraded Boeing (BA) to Buy from Hold with a $265 price target. The firm believes the company has "superior" long-term prospects due to its leading presence in the growing commercial aerospace industry. Truist upgraded Best Buy(BBY) to Buy from Hold with a price target of $95, up from $81. The firm's credit card reads are positive for Best Buy's Q2 report Argus upgraded Centene (CNC) to Buy from Hold with an $80 price target. The company appears positioned to reach its prior margin targets over the next few years as Medicaid margins bottom and higher premiums for Marketplace and Medicare Advantage policies restore profitability to these businesses, the firm tells investors in a research note. UBS upgraded Jabil (JBL) to Buy from Neutral with an unchanged price target of $430. The firm sees a multiyear growth cycle for the company, driven by AI investment from Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), and Google (GOOGL), rising healthcare demand as capacity comes online, and scaling automation and robotics markets. Citi upgraded Agilon Health(AGL) to Neutral from Sell with a price target of $115, up from $105. Agilon's execution is driving better than expected risk score performance and favorable cost trends, the firm tells investors in a research note. Citi upgraded Evolent Health (EVH) to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $6, down from $6.75. Top 5 Downgrades: BofA downgraded AppLovin (APP) to Neutral from Buy with a price target of $400, down from $430. The risks to AppLovin's articulated 30% year-over-year long-term revenue growth forecast have increased and innovations in support of 30% growth are also riskier, the firm tells investors. Phillip Securities downgraded Airbnb (ABNB) to Reduce from Neutral with a price target of $158, up from $136. Asia-Pacific and Latin America are growing at two-times the rate of Airbnb's mature markets but are too small to offset the slowdown, leaving company sales growth hinged on North America, the firm tells investors in a research note. Cantor Fitzgerald downgraded Monday.com(MNDY) to Neutral from Overweight with a price target of $90, down from $112. Monday.com delivered a strong Q2 beat with accelerating AI adoption and enterprise momentum, but declining net new annual recurring revenue and weaker new-product KPIs keep the focus on whether increased GTM and AI investment can drive a sustainable growth reacceleration before shares re-rate, the firm tells investors in a research note. Wolfe Research also downgraded Monday.com to Peer Perform from Outperform without a price target. Citi downgraded Allstate (ALL) to Sell from Neutral with a price target of $240, up from $226. Citi believes the company is "significantly over-earning today," making it cautious that Allstate's growth can improve from here. Barclays downgraded Under Armour(UAA) to Underweight from Equal Weight with an unchanged price target of $5. The firm cites the company's "delayed brand recovery" in a competitive athletic sector for the downgrade. Story Continues Top 5 Initiations: Goldman Sachs initiated coverage of Autodesk (ADSK) with a Neutral rating and $260 price target. The firm believes AI has the potential to strengthen the company's platform and deepen its role within customer workflows over time, but argues that the magnitude of the opportunity, path to monetization, and broader implications for design software remain uncertain. Scotiabank resumed coverage of Celestica (CLS) with an Outperform rating and $500 price target. Given Celestica's role as a co-design partner, rather than a traditional contract manufacturer, and its growing exposure to Ethernet-based AI fabrics, the firm views the stock as "a differentiated way" to gain exposure to AI inf

Rates of metabolic health challenges continue to rise globally. Prediabetes, one of the fastest-growing health crises in the U.S., impacts over 115 million American adults with more than 2 in 5 adults affected and approximately 8 in 10 are completely unaware they have it.[1] Additionally, poor metabolic health can lead to other chronic conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.[2] The partnership between Abbott and Google Health aims to help people better understand the connection between their daily habits and overall well-being, empowering earlier and more informed action to help slow the development and progression of conditions related to poor metabolic health. Story Continues "The biggest challenge in healthcare isn't treating disease—it's helping people stay healthier longer," said Olivier Ropars, divisional vice president of Abbott's Lingo business. "Abbott's leadership in biowearables and Google's expertise in AI and consumer technology create a powerful opportunity to make personalized insights available at unprecedented scale. Additionally, we are advancing metabolic health research through one of the largest real-world studies of its kind, generating new insights into the relationship between glucose and everyday behaviors. That research will help shape future AI-powered guidance and metabolic health innovation. Together, we can help people better understand their bodies and take action before health challenges become health conditions." Lin

Nvidia's $500 Billion AI Plan Gets Wall Street Backing
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Nvidia Corp. (NVDA, Financials), the leading provider of artificial intelligence chips, is in discussions with some of Wall Street's top firms on a strategy that may free up more than $500 billion for the next phase of the AI buildout.Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Blackstone, KKR, Apollo, and Brookfield are among the companies involved. The notion is simple but potentially big: think of AI data centers and computing systems as revenue-generating infrastructure that can be financed much like other long-lived assets.That could matter if Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and others spend huge amounts on data centers and resort more to loan and equity markets for funding.Nvidia also might underwrite up to 25% of qualifying loans, potentially helping clients get better financing. Borrowers would utilize Nvidia-approved designs for the systems, which may be transferred to another operator if necessary.That might free up one of the main restraints on future demand for Nvidia chips: access to funding. The worry is Wall Street is subsidizing capacity faster than AI economics can ultimately support. But for now, Huang is trying to make sure money doesn't become a bottleneck. View Comments

JPMorgan Sets Jaw-Dropping S&P 500 Target for Year-End 2026
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. JPMorgan has raised its 2026 S&P 500 target to 8,000 from 7,800 for the end of 2026. The firm points to stronger corporate earnings and growing evidence that heavy AI spending is beginning to translate into business growth. With 87% of S&P 500 companies reporting, JPMorgan said second-quarter results have remained broad across sectors. The bank lifted its 2026 earnings-per-share forecast to $365, implying 35% annual growth, above its previous estimate and the $358 consensus. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. Is SPY fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. JPMorgan also increased its 2027 EPS projection to $420, representing 15% growth. However, the bank kept its valuation assumption near 20 times forward earnings, citing elevated interest rates, geopolitical risks and continued equity and debt issuance. AI infrastructure spending remains a central factor behind the revised outlook. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) have posted stronger cloud trends, expanding backlogs and improving visibility into operating cash flow. JPMorgan estimates AI capital spending could approach $900 billion this year and exceed $1.2 trillion next year. Still, rising investment is weighing on free cash flow, leaving investors to balance stronger earnings against the costs of funding the AI expansion. View Comments

Anthropic’s $965B IPO Path Runs Through Seven Compute Corridors Across Three Continents
Anthropic's $965 billion IPO path rests on the aggressive, multi-layered industrialization of compute. The company has transformed access from a variable cost into a structural moat by diversifying hardware and energy supply across three continents through seven distinct funding mechanisms — effectively decoupling its growth from the supply-chain bottlenecks that throttle competitors tethered to single-cloud dependencies. The portfolio maps a global footprint. In North America, the core relies on a multi-billion dollar agreement with AWS for Trainium chips and Project Rainier clusters, alongside capacity from Google TPUs, the SpaceX Colossus 1 facility in Memphis, AMD Instinct GPUs, and Microsoft Azure. The strategy extends to Europe via a $10 billion, six-year deal with Volta Infra in Norway, securing 133 MW of hydro-powered capacity housing Nvidia Vera Rubin hardware. Preliminary talks with Meta and reported Asia-Pacific activity round out a portfolio designed so that no single geopolitical or supply-chain failure can halt the company's inference engine. The financial engineering is the real story. Anthropic has stacked $71 billion in off-balance-sheet chip-lease debt through special purpose vehicles arranged by Apollo and Blackstone, with Broadcom providing a residual value backstop on roughly $30 billion of senior tranches. A preliminary $36 billion follow-on follows the same blueprint. The SPV acquires Google TPUs, leases them back to Anthropic, and the senior notes carry Broadcom's investment-grade credit rather than Anthropic's. The Volta arrangement adds a different mechanism: a $1.3 billion standby letter of credit from J.P. Morgan that shifts credit risk away from the seven-month-old startup and onto established financial institutions. Seven mechanisms, seven financing structures. AWS operates on a multi-billion dollar compute agreement. Google TPUs are funded through SPV-structured private credit. SpaceX Colossus runs on a ~$1.25 billion monthly lease through May 2029. AMD is committing up to $5 billion in strategic equity investment alongside 2 GW of Instinct MI450 capacity starting in H1 2027. Azure provides a third distribution channel without bespoke hardware. Volta anchors the European footprint through SBLC-backed credit substitution. Meta remains in preliminary talks. This infrastructure-first approach justifies the $965 billion post-money valuation established by the May 2026 Series H. Revenue scaled from $10 million ARR in early 2023 to $47 billion by May 2026 — roughly 4,700x in 41 months, with Claude Code alone contributing approximately $8 billion and enterprise API comprising 80 to 85 percent of the mix. The implied 20.5x annualized revenue multiple prices in not just model quality but the physical infrastructure required to deliver it. Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan are leading the underwriting for a confidential S-1 filed June 1, targeting October. Story Continues The Volta deal carries a source caveat worth noting: Bloomberg identified Anthropic as the unnamed lab on August 4, but Anthropic declined to comment. Reuters confirmed the agreement exists but could not independently verify the counterparty. Deal terms should be treated as reported. The broader implication is that Anthropic has achieved something none of its peers have managed: a compute architecture where no single landlord, cloud provider, or hardware vendor controls the bottleneck. Whether through off-balance-sheet SPVs, standby letters of credit, or direct equity investment, the company has assembled a funding mechanism for each major hardware and geography pairing. This trajectory completes the Compute Landlord Thesis, extending it through the SPV debt iteration, the SpaceX equity model, and the Google financing web. The $965 billion question for investors is not whether Claude is the best model. It is whether the machine running it — spread across seven corridors and three continents — can sustain the velocity that made $

Cloudflare Wants to Control the Identity and Money Layer for Agent Commerce
A CDN giant is issuing per-agent wallets with spending caps and merchant allow-lists, betting it can own the settlement pipe before agents start spending real money. Cloudflare has entered the agent commerce race with a two-tier wallet architecture designed to give developers programmable control over how AI agents spend money. The company's new AI Agents platform, announced August 4, introduces Account Wallets for funding and Virtual Wallets for individual agents, each equipped with configurable guardrails including periodic spending allowances, merchant allow-lists, and per-transaction size caps. The move positions Cloudflare alongside Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Google, and AWS as a premier member of the x402 Foundation, the open-protocol consortium building the settlement infrastructure for machine-initiated transactions. Cloudflare's entry is notable because it brings network-layer control to a stack that has so far been dominated by payment processors and financial institutions. The wallet architecture reveals Cloudflare's bet on where the margin will live. Account Wallets serve as the funding source, while Virtual Wallets act as per-agent spending containers with three types of guardrails. Periodic Allowances set recurring spend limits per time window. Merchant Allow-lists restrict which vendors an agent can transact with. Maximum Transaction Size caps individual payment amounts. These controls are configurable by the Account Wallet owner, creating a trust layer that operates at the network level rather than the application level. Cloudflare is also introducing cloudflare.pay, a human-readable stablecoin identifier that uses the x402 protocol for settlement. This positions the company as both a payment rail and an identity layer for agents, a combination that existing x402 participants have not yet combined in a single product. The settlement architecture for agent commerce is now converging on three competing approaches. Google's Universal Checkout Protocol routes through card rails via Shopify. The x402 Foundation uses crypto-native stablecoin settlement on Base. Mastercard's AP4M supports multi-rail including stablecoins. Cloudflare's bet is that the identity and money layer should live at the network infrastructure level, not the payment processor level. The timing matters. x402 Foundation has processed over 200 million transactions, but more than 95 percent are protocol signaling, not actual commercial exchange. Real daily volume remains near $28,000 according to Artemis Analytics. Cloudflare is entering a market where the infrastructure is being built but commercial adoption has not yet followed. Story Continues Consumer trust remains the binding constraint. According to the Product.ai Trust in AI Commerce Report, only 14 percent of consumers trust AI to execute purchases without verification. Eighty-six percent verify before purchasing. Forty-two percent won't trust AI for purchases over $25. These numbers have not moved meaningfully since the report's April 2026 publication. The handle reservations are open, but full functionality is described as "coming in months." Cloudflare is announcing a capability that does not yet exist in production. The bet is that by the time agent commerce reaches meaningful transaction volume, the identity and money layer will already be in place. Whether that bet pays off depends on whether agents actually start spending real money at scale, something the current transaction data does not yet support. View Comments

Google’s AI Team Tells Job Seekers Its HR Filters Are Unreliable
(Bloomberg) -- Alphabet Inc.'s Google pitches its artificial intelligence tools to corporate clients as a way to more quickly sift through a mountain of job applications to find the most promising candidates. Some of its own AI researchers don't want to rely on these tools when recruiting. Most Read from Bloomberg China Unleashes $28 Trillion Capital Markets to Challenge US in AI Stocks Churn as Hormuz Standoff Spurs Rally in Oil: Markets Wrap Iran Shakes Up Security Team After Saying Oman Deal 'Very Close' GameStop's Ryan Cohen Weighs Pulling $56 Billion EBay Offer Intel to Sell $15 Billion in Stock After AI Boosts Demand Google DeepMind's AGI Safety and Alignment Team, which seeks to mitigate the risks of advanced AI, is encouraging job candidates for its open roles to fill out a special form alongside their application to eliminate the risk it may be automatically screened out by the company's internal AI systems, according to a document viewed by Bloomberg, which contained the disclaimer "PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS DOC WIDELY." "We have an applications system with a non-trivial probability your CV will be screened out incorrectly or take too long to reach us," the document states. "Filling out this form makes sure that a real human on the team will get to see your application." A Google DeepMind spokesperson said the company aims to "recruit and hire the most qualified talent at Google DeepMind" and denied that the company's systems filter out applicants incorrectly. "This team set up a special form to go past the recruiter review, and get their resumes direct to the people on the team. But there are no shortcuts to getting hired," the spokesperson added. AI has rapidly become a part of the hiring process, prompting some HR teams to worry they may soon be out of a job. But how that AI is employed can be murky. Some companies run AI models to rank applicants, while others filter resumes for key terms. Google's Workspace team, which sells popular products such as Google Drive to businesses, markets the company's new AI features as a way to "save HR time by quickly creating drafts for job postings, evaluating resumes, and forecasting hiring needs." AI hiring systems have also come under fire for potentially discriminating against candidates. A Bloomberg investigation found that OpenAI's ChatGPT showed signs of potential bias based on applicants' names. And Workday Inc., which sells workplace management software, is facing a lawsuit that alleges its AI hiring systems screen applicants based on race, age and disability in violation of the law. Workday has denied the allegations and said humans make hiring decisions. The company did not respond to an additional request for comment. Story Continues Meanwhile, some job candidates are using AI to their advantage by gaming the filters, or simply churning out applications in record time. The Google DeepMind team was on guard about this possibility as well, counseling candidates that their applications would be stronger without the help of AI. The form designed to circumvent automated screening includes an advisory: "A real human will read these. These humans get really tired of reading LLM answers, because they all sound very samey." --With assistance from Jo Constantz.

The loneliness epidemic is growing — can FeedIRL help solve it?
FeedIRL Founder Kris Mathis joins Josh Lipton on Asking for a Trend to discuss the growing loneliness epidemic and how FeedIRL is working to help people build meaningful connections. Video Transcript 00:00 Chris FDRL is an app that helps you find fun things to do and people to do them with nearby and it's all through uh chat. 00:08 Chris So it's an easy conversation, what you're interested in, obviously where you're where you're located in and it refines the the search mechanism um from there and our our uh motto is kind of sums it up. It's stop scrolling, start going. 00:23 Chris You know, most apps are meant to kind of incentivize to keep you scrolling. Our app is really incentivized to get you off the screen and get you into real life. Um and so yeah, that's our that's our goal. 00:37 Speaker B So let me give you an example, Chris. Like we're sitting here right now in New York City. How would it actually work? Walk me through it. 00:43 Chris Right. Well, I'm a dad in New York City and as a dad in New York City, all dads know the first thing you want to do is get out of the apartment. 00:52 Chris And so, one of the searches that that I often do is, you know, it'll be like, show me something to do on Wednesday, you know, Wednesday afternoon uh at 4 o'clock and we'll give me different kids based activities. But it's really built it's built around your own social graph. So that could be tacos, tequila, um you know, we have um people searching for bachelorette party ideas and and uh, you know, um uh fitness is huge in Miami because some of the trends that we see are different cities have different interest graphs, right? So fitness is huge in Miami. 01:27 Chris Uh New York it's mostly, you know, comedy, food. Um and LA has a whole different sort of interest graph. So depending on where you're at, um the interests kind of shift and vary. Um but what we've seen, I mean, we've got incredible usage over a short amount of time and it really kind of backs up some of the stats that I think we're seeing that, you know, millennials, 75% of 75% of millennials will spend on an experience versus a good. 01:52 Chris Um 30% um of budgets are going to discretionary budgets are going to experiences. Um and so we're we're certainly seeing that come through um in usage of the app as well. 02:00 Speaker B And then, Chris, you must get this question like immediately. I'm sure some people ask you, okay, why can't I just use, you know, Google or chat GBT for this? What's the difference? What's your competitive advantage? 02:11 Chris So we're we're definitely, we use AI obviously like all other apps. Um our engine is, you know, uh is supplemented by AI. The sort of magic that we apply to it also is a social sort of a social layer along with offers, um offers and events. And so the the complement of those things sort of builds a network that um we think can deliver, you know, better experiences than um than AI. Certainly AI can tell you kind of a summary of some things to do, but we match real-time inventory with a social layer and and offers that are given, you know, given through from events. So we kind of give a more precise answer to where you should what events you should be going um to, you know, tonight or this weekend. 02:51 Chris Um our weekend plan will give you a rundown here the five events that you should be going to based on what you've um shown that you're interested in.

JPMorgan Stock Rises as Bank Lifts S&P Target to 8,000
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), the largest U.S. bank by assets, raised its 2026 year-end S&P 500 target to 8,000 from 7,800. That sounds like another bullish Wall Street call. Look closer. The real story is earnings. The new target offers roughly 3.1% upside from Friday's 7,757.64 close, but JPMorgan is not counting on investors suddenly paying much richer prices for stocks. It thinks corporate profits can keep climbingand AI is becoming a bigger reason why. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 8 Warning Sign with JPM. Is JPM fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. The numbers tell the story. JPMorgan lifted its 2026 S&P 500 earnings forecast to $365 per share from $350 and its 2027 estimate to $420 from $390. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) are central to the thesis. Their accelerating cloud businesses, swelling backlogs and improving cash-flow visibility suggest the mountains of money pouring into AI infrastructure are finally starting to produce something investors can measure. Earnings season is adding fuel: roughly 85.1% of the 436 S&P 500 companies that had reported through Friday beat expectations.JPMorgan Stock Rises as Bank Lifts S&P Target to 8,000·us.finance.gurufocus And the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) chart shows just how American this wager remains. As of March 31, roughly $637 billion, or 97.8% of the geographic exposure shown, sat in the United States. Ireland was a distant second at 1.4%, with Switzerland, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and other markets barely registering. Buy SPY, and you are overwhelmingly betting on the U.S. profit machine. Here is the part that matters. JPMorgan raised its 2026 earnings estimate by roughly 4.3% and its 2027 forecast by about 7.7%, yet kept its forward valuation assumption near 20 times earnings. Translation: the market cannot simply get more expensive and call it a day. Earnings have to carry the next leg. That makes the 8,000 target both bullish and demanding. AI spending needs to turn into real profits. Margins need to hold. Inflation cannot reignite badly enough to keep rates higher for longer. Geopolitical shocks cannot derail the earnings machine. The S&P 500 is already expensive, so there is less room for excuses. The path to 8,000 is there. Now corporate America has to earn it. View Comments

Microsoft Stock Rises 1.7% as JPMorgan Backs AI Payoff
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), the software and cloud giant behind Azure, reported accelerating cloud growth just as Wall Street gets more comfortable with the biggest question hanging over the AI boom: Are those staggering infrastructure bills actually paying off? Microsoft shares climbed roughly 1.7% Monday morning, and JPMorgan sees the answer increasingly tilting toward yes. The bank pointed to Microsoft, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) as evidence that hyperscaler AI spending is feeding into stronger revenue, helping drive its 2026 year-end S&P 500 (SPY) target to 8,000 from 7,800. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Sign with MSFT. Is MSFT fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. The bull case is starting to get some muscle behind it. JPMorgan lifted its S&P 500 earnings estimate to $365 per share for 2026 and $420 for 2027, up from $350 and $390. Stronger cloud growth, expanding backlogs and improving cash-flow visibility across the hyperscalers helped fuel that confidence. Microsoft is right in the middle of it. Azure growth is expected at roughly 45%, while the company plans to spend around $50 billion on capital expenditures in the current fiscal quarter alone. That number is enormous. But if Azure keeps growing anywhere near this pace, the conversation changes fast. Microsoft is no longer just spending heavily on AI. It is showing investors why it is spending heavily.Microsoft Stock Rises 1.7% as JPMorgan Backs AI Payoff·us.finance.gurufocus And the valuation does not look stretched against GuruFocus' estimate. Microsoft traded at $509.07 on Aug. 10 versus a GF Value of $575.48, putting the stock roughly 11.54% below that benchmark. That discount adds another layer to the story, but execution now matters more than the headline number. Microsoft is pouring tens of billions into AI infrastructure, so Azure needs to keep humming, backlog needs to turn into revenue and cash flow needs to keep up. If those pieces fall into place, the AI capex debate gets much simpler. Microsoft's giant spending bill stops looking like the risk. It starts looking like the fuel. View Comments

Apollo Economist Drops Stark Take On AI Boom
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Apollo Chief Economist Torsten Slok is warning that the AI boom could become a market-wide problem if returns on massive hyperscaler spending arrive later than investors expect. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Meta (NASDAQ:META), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) are collectively expected to generate nearly $470 billion in free cash flow by 2030, according to Apollo data, but Slok argues that weaker monetization could leave earnings, margins and ultimately stock valuations exposed. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with META. Is META fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. "The bottom line is that AI has been the one thing holding up both the economy and markets," Slok said. His concern centers on the widening gap between AI spending and realized returns. Apollo noted that companies outside the major technology sector are spending heavily on AI without yet seeing a meaningful improvement in profit margins. Slok argues that the longer those returns take to materialize, the greater the risk that today's infrastructure boom becomes vulnerable to a pullback. The scale of spending is already enormous. Apollo estimates hyperscaler capital expenditure could reach roughly 3% of U.S. GDP annually from 2027 through 2029, more than double the peak of the late-1990s telecom buildout as a share of the economy. Microsoft offers a clear example of the tradeoff. The company spent $41 billion on capital expenditures in its latest quarter while generating $19.6 billion in free cash flow. Microsoft Cloud gross margin slipped to 65%, partly because of continued AI infrastructure investment and higher usage. Investor Takeaway Investors should watch whether AI revenue growth begins catching up with infrastructure spending. Cloud growth, free cash flow, depreciation expense and gross margins will be critical. Microsoft's Azure revenue rose 43% in its latest quarter, showing demand remains strong, but management still expects fiscal 2027 capital expenditures to rise year over year. The bullish case strengthens if hyperscalers can monetize new capacity while maintaining margins and cash generation. If capex keeps climbing while returns lag, however, Slok's warning becomes more serious: weaker cash flow could pressure megacap valuations and spill into semiconductors, data centers and other AI-linked stocks.

Microsoft Rethinks Its Nvidia Reliance
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is preparing its biggest push yet to turn homegrown AI silicon into a meaningful alternative to Nvidia, with the software giant reportedly planning to unveil its Maia 300 accelerator as early as September. Microsoft is also discussing manufacturing capacity for more than 300,000 chips with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM), potentially giving it greater control over the soaring cost of powering Azure's AI workloads. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Sign with MSFT. Is MSFT fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. The Maia 300 is expected to be unveiled this fall, according to The Information, which cited people familiar with Microsoft's plans. The company is reportedly targeting delivery of more than 300,000 units in 2027 and wants major cloud customers, including Anthropic, to adopt the chip. The scale-up would mark an important step for a custom-chip program that has trailed similar efforts at Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG). Microsoft introduced Maia in 2023 but has continued relying heavily on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) accelerators as AI demand exploded. Microsoft accelerated that effort in January with Maia 200, an inference-focused chip manufactured on TSMC's 3-nanometer process. The accelerator packs 216 GB of HBM3e memory and, according to Microsoft, delivers 30% better performance per dollar than the latest-generation hardware previously in its fleet. The stakes are rising alongside Azure demand. In Microsoft's fiscal third quarter, Azure and other cloud-services revenue jumped 40% year over year, while Microsoft Cloud revenue reached $54.5 billion. Investor Takeaway On Microsoft Stock Maia 300 could matter to Microsoft investors less as a direct chip business and more as a way to improve the economics of AI. Successfully deploying hundreds of thousands of internally designed accelerators could reduce dependence on Nvidia, diversify Microsoft's compute supply and potentially lower the cost of serving increasingly intensive AI workloads. Investors should therefore watch Maia 300's performance-per-dollar, production ramp at TSMC and whether outside customers such as Anthropic actually adopt it. Microsoft's broader strategy remains heterogeneous, combining its own silicon with chips from Nvidia and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD). A successful 2027 ramp would strengthen the case that Microsoft can capture more of the economics underlying Azure AI. Production delays, weak customer adoption or disappointing performance would leave its costly reliance on third-party accelerators largely intact. View Comments
