The market is stuck on capex fear. The data says demand is already locked in.
Microsoft’s AI-driven cloud engine has moved from speculation to backlog-backed execution, with monetization now visible in Azure growth and RPO expansion.
📈 Inflection status: CONFIRMED POSITIVE
Revenue, margins, and cash flow continue to inflect upward.
Atomic evidence:
• Azure growth re-accelerated to ~40% (FY26 Q1)
• Commercial RPO surged to $625B, +110% YoY
• AI now contributes ~16pts to Azure growth (+400bps in 6 months)
• OpenAI signed ~$250B incremental Azure consumption deal
• Operating cash flow +56% vs FY23
⚠️ Bottleneck:
GPU capacity and datacenter power limit near-term fulfillment.
💰 Price-conditioned valuation:
At **US$401.14 (6 Feb 2026)**, the market assumes AI ROE dilution and stalled monetization.
Backlog strength suggests the opposite.
🧠 Verdict: Buy. This is a **backlog-led AI inflection**, not a hype cycle.
