Microsoft will spend $10 billion on an artificial intelligence data center along the Portuguese coast, marking one of its largest European investments this year, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday.
MSFT, AVGO and IONQ stand out as resilient plays as investors rotate from overheated AI hype to sustainable tech and quantum growth paths.
MSFT's 17.9% YTD gain masks valuation concerns and capacity constraints. Strong fundamentals support holding, but new investors should wait for a pullback.
The company's new disclosures only underscore how much remains hidden.
Everyone knows Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) and its best-known products, including the Windows operating system and Microsoft 365 suite of productivity apps, but its growing cloud computing platform, Azure, is the future of the company.
Microsoft Corp. is pursuing a more powerful form of AI called "superintelligence" it hopes will be capable of making advances in areas like medicine and materials science.

Microsoft Corporation's Azure's 40% YoY growth, OpenAI's incremental $250B Azure commitment, and bookings up 112% YoY, underpin a strong fundamental case for MSFT stock vs. a mid-single-digit selloff post earnings. I believe commercial RPO implies a 12-month revenue floor near $156.8B. The OpenAI consumption could add $35.7–$50.0B per year over 5–7 years, skewed lower near-term by constraints. MSFT retains revenue share, exclusive IP, and Azure API exclusivity until AGI or 2030 (product/model IP through 2032). Its OpenAI stake is now valued at ~$135B.
