Citi's Radke: AI splits software into winners like Microsoft and losers like Adobe

Citi's Tyler Radke says AI is splitting software into winners and losers. Radke, co-head of US software equity research, told Bloomberg Television that AI is lifting growth at Microsoft, Palantir, and Snowflake. He expects Microsoft's revenue growth to top 20%, up from 18% in the quarter ended June 30. Office costs under $100 a month and bundles security and Copilot, while rivals charge hundreds of dollars, leaving room to raise prices. Adobe and smaller application vendors face pressure as IT budgets shift to AI, he said. Salesforce agreed to buy Braze for $47.50 per share in cash. Radke questions whether Salesforce can speed up organic growth after half a dozen large deals. If financing stays costly, he expects scale to decide who survives.

Xbox's non-gamer CEO cuts thousands of jobs in a bid to save the $21B gaming unit

Asha Sharma, 38, who had no video game experience, became Xbox chief executive in February, replacing Phil Spencer. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella picked her to turn around the $21 billion business, where profit margin sits near 3%. Sharma has cut 1,868 jobs as part of a plan to reduce headcount by 3,200 over the next year. She is also consolidating studios and shifting money to top franchises such as Minecraft and Blizzard titles. She plans a next-generation handheld by the 2027 holiday season and a new console by the 2028 holidays. Xbox also plans to overhaul Game Pass. Some observers wonder whether Microsoft is preparing Xbox for a sale or spinoff.

Cash beats debt: stronger balance sheets sit closer to 52-week highs in all five pairs

Companies with more cash than debt are holding up better as inflation hits 3.7%, the 10-year Treasury yields about 5.1%, and US oil tops $100 a barrel. An analysis of five industry pairs found the stronger company sat closer to its 52-week high in every case. In four, debt made the difference. Microsoft, with $20 billion of net cash, is 1.8% below its high. CoreWeave, with $46 billion of net debt, is 56.3% below. Exxon is 0.4% below its high, against 35.6% for American Airlines. Nucor trails its high by 4.9%, while Celanese trails by 30.8%. Alphabet is down 14.4%, while Charter, with $96 billion of net debt, is down 57.0%. Costco and Nike are the exception: Nike's gap stems from falling sales, not debt.

CAS brings 150 years of curated science into Microsoft Copilot for pharma and chemical R&D

CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, has made its CAS Connections tool available in Microsoft Copilot. The connector gives Copilot users access to the CAS Content Collection and CAS Newton, an agentic AI built for science. It targets pharmaceutical, life sciences, and chemical research teams. The tool brings more than 150 years of CAS-curated scientific knowledge into the apps where they work. A chemist in Microsoft Word, for example, can confirm a compound's CAS Registry Number and check reaction conditions. An analyst in Teams can check whether a substance appears in patent literature. "Scientists, patent teams, and business analysts can easily access this trusted information directly within Copilot," said Chantrelle Nielsen, principal product manager, Copilot Platform, at Microsoft. The connector is available in the Microsoft Marketplace.

Microsoft reportedly weighs 20% Azure cost cuts as AI spending hits $175B

Microsoft is reportedly weighing cost cuts of at least 20% at Azure, its cloud unit. Azure President Girish Bablani asked senior leaders in his roughly 11,500-person unit to find the savings, according to reports. Microsoft denies that Azure leadership has directed teams to develop cost-cutting plans. The reports come as AI infrastructure spending pressures margins. Microsoft expects about $50 billion in capital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and roughly $175 billion for calendar 2026. Demand remains strong. Fourth-quarter revenue rose 18% to $90 billion, and Azure and other cloud services revenue grew 43%. Microsoft shares are up 10% this year.
