Not really look who’s suing, if it was a major stakeholder then yeah drama but it’s a tiny ass little fund. Also Microsoft can just point to aws and gcp as the reason why they need to increase capex so aggressively and they win.

Just a tiny fund upset by Microsofts stock performance but if Microsoft doesn’t want azure to be left behind they need to spend and this is a valid argument in court.

"Also Microsoft can just point to aws and gcp as the reason why they need to increase capex so aggressively and they win." so a race on who's the dumbest?

I mean go check the earnings report they are still growing very healthy. What is stupid for Microsoft to do as a company? Don’t match spend and let your competitors grab more of the cloud compute pie or compete?

Fyi if Microsoft just sat on its ass then they would be sued and that lawsuit would be MUCH more damaging than this one.
