Buy The Microsoft Dip

Tech Letter

How will Microsoft grow their stock in 2025?

In short, MSFT are building what the market wants, and what the market wants are AI data centers.

The stock price should be rewarded if they can deliver these new AI data centers to the market.

The data center increase shows no signs of slowing down and I do believe this puts a floor under tech stocks.

To be honest, there has been a lot of bad energy surrounding the current tech business models because many of them are getting stale.

Why upgrade to the next iPhone when there isn’t much of an upgrade?

The refresh cycle data shows people are standing pat and using their own tech longer and that is bad news for tech software and hardware companies.

So instead of trying to squeeze the remaining juice out of a stale model, beefy balance sheet tech companies are driving full force into AI investment even though this investment doesn’t reciprocate with any sort of revenue stream.

It’s a little bit of a build it and it will come mentality which I do believe is quite risky and at some point, we are due for a heavy selloff.

That selloff could get triggered if the US 10-year interest rate blows past 5.5%, then all bets are off.

Microsoft says it plans to spend $80 billion on building AI data centers this year.

Microsoft has poured billions of dollars over the last two years into Anthropic, as well as Elon Musk’s startup xAI.

Advances by these firms would not have been possible without new partnerships founded on large-scale infrastructure investments that serve as the essential foundation of AI innovation and use.

The $80 billion would reflect a significant increase on the $53 billion capex spend Microsoft made in 2023.

Documents leaked last April revealed it had more than 5GW of capacity at its disposal, with plans to add an additional 1.5GW in the first half of 2025. It is possible this has since been revised upwards as it looks to provide compute power to OpenAI to run ChatGPT and its other AI services, as well as supporting its own Azure public cloud platform.

Part of this is definitely the management at OpenAI namely CEO Sam Altman. He is seen as the avant-garde of AI and the leader of the whole movement. He is demanding a massive build out and investors have largely taken him at this word. Nobody has really questioned him and that stems partly from no one really knows where this AI thing is headed in the future, but we are convinced that buckets of data space are needed for whatever comes next.

My issue is what if the thing that comes next is a cataclysmic letdown, then where do tech stocks head?

Most likely they would head for the gutter.

So we give the benefit of the doubt to this gargantuan AI infrastructure build-out and it feels like we are flying blind in a snowstorm, but that is what the market is telling us and the market is always right until it is not.

Sometimes tech does figure it out, and we are really hoping there is something of great value at the end of the build-out.

Buy the dip in MSFT until the AI infrastructure story is killed off.
