The vast cloud department of Microsoft has registered a slower growth than Wall Street’s expectations, as the technology group has struggled to keep pace with customer demand for services related to artificial intelligence.
The Sayattle-based software group has won the expenses of analysts to obtain revenues and net income in the quarter ending in December, but its cloud-largest revenue driver, which includes the AZURE-AZURE-AZURE-AZURE-AZURE-AZURE-AZURE-AZURE-Azure-Azure-Azure-Azure-Displain.
Although the revenue of the AZURE intelligence services in 157 percent year on year, financial director Amy Hood said that Microsoft expected “the continuous impact” of capacity restrictions in 2025, when the company worked to “face implementation challenges”. She said this would raise the end of the fiscal year.
The Microsoft General Cloud section of Microsoft increased by 21 percent in revenue from a year to $ 40.9 billion, as missing in a 41.1 billion dollar investigative study.
The disappointing results of the cloud unit sent shares that slide more than 4 percent in trading after working hours in New York, leaving the group dedicated to giving up about $ 150 billion in the market value.
The group’s revenues for a quarter increased by 12 percent of the previous year to a record number of $ 69.6 billion. Net income increased by 10 percent to 24.1 billion dollars, before the average estimate of Bloomberg scanning at a value of $ 23.5 billion.
Microsoft spent $ 22.6 billion on capital expenditures in the second quarter, doubled in the previous year. Earlier this month, the company said it would spend nearly $ 80 billion in this fiscal year ending June 30 to build the infrastructure for the data center needed to train artificial intelligence models and publish requests.
The bumper spending comes around Wall Street around Dibsic in China, which claims to be able to perform artificial intelligence tasks as well as large American companies such as Microsoft, but in a small part of the cost.
CEO Satia Nadella said Dibsic has shown “real innovation”, including the OpenAi model performance matching, which was described for his ability to answer more advanced and scientific questions.
“We’ll see that everyone is used and will be widely used. The big beneficiaries in any software cycle like this is the customer.
Nadella added one of the lessons from moving to cloud computing – when companies use external sources of computer processing to external servers – with a decrease in the cost of resources, the demand increased. “The improvement means that it will be more everywhere,” he added.
The software giant was one of the main beneficiaries in the boom of artificial intelligence, with the high demand for its cloud services and enthusiasm over its $ 13 billion partnership with Openai pushing it to a small club of companies that exceed the 3TN market values.
Openai models support Microsoft Microsoft Chat and its Great Language Model via Azure.
Last week, the group said it would change the structure of its deal with Openai to enable the start of the start of the competitors’ cloud computing services. But she booked the right of the first rejection.
The move came at a time when the emerging has made plans with the Oracle and SoftBank provider in Japan to build at least $ 100 billion of Amnesty International Infrastructure in the United States as part of a project called Stargit. Microsoft was only named as a technical partner for the project.
“Their success is our success due to all other commercial arrangements,” Nadella said, referring to the arrangement of Microsoft’s profits with Openai as well as the rights of application and intellectual property, before warning the company against improving costs. “You don’t want to buy a lot of anything simultaneously.”
The company added that Microsoft has published a 67 percent increase in commercial demand for services in the quarter that has been largely moved by Openai.
