Microsoft shattered Q4 expectations with 18% revenue growth, proving its massive scale is no barrier to expansion and silencing concerns about its spending levels. MSFT's Azure business posted 39% YoY turnover growth, with AI and data analytics platforms like Fabric and Copilot gaining rapid enterprise adoption. Despite high CapEx, MSFT's EBIT margin improved to 45%, and partnerships like Nebius can help scale efficiently without excessive new investment.

The Single-Biggest Risk For BDCs Nobody Is Talking About
AI disruption is happening faster than most expect, with trillions in CapEx reshaping industries and creating huge risks for income investors. BDCs thrive on high yields, but their heavy software exposure now faces AI-driven disruption that could upend portfolios and cash flows.
