Microsoft shares fell 3.2% on Monday after Morgan Stanley warned that hyperscalers' AI infrastructure spending is expanding faster than the revenue and cash flow it is producing. The bank said group capital spending is expected to rise 57% this year relative to 2025 and argued some operators may need additional debt, with lower-rated borrowers such as Oracle facing steeper financing costs than stronger credits. Microsoft appears better insulated, with about $77 billion in cash, $129 billion in debt and roughly $67 billion in expected free cash flow this year even after capital investment, based on S&P Global Market Intelligence data. Even so, reports that Microsoft has installed roughly 2.2 million AI chips, only modestly above the 1.8 million it had targeted by the end of 2024 and below some industry expectations, reinforced concerns that unfinished or underused data centers are slowing the conversion of AI hardware into revenue-generating cloud capacity. That fits earlier reporting that advanced chips have been sitting idle while facilities are completed, even as Microsoft rolls out Maia accelerators, negotiates with TSMC for more than 300,000 next-generation chips for 2027 and tries to narrow the gap with Amazon and Google in in-house AI silicon. Separate speculation about a possible Xbox spinoff and a still-bullish Wall Street consensus, with 33 Buy ratings, one Hold and an average price target of $564.49, underline the tension between near-term financing pressure and longer-term confidence in Microsoft's AI strategy.
