The claim

“MSFT's 13% EPS beat proves its AI capex is yielding positive returns through broad product monetization.”

Why he says it — point by point

FAVORABLE & AGAINST · BOTH KEPT
On record

Microsoft just proved to investors that this capex spend is a good thing.

Why

They beat their EPS estimate by 13%. They prove that their capex spend is yielding positive results with the rest of their business lines, that they're monetizing AI well, that they have an incredible amount of demand, that it's helping all their other products, that it's making them sell their bundle easier.

So, my combined Microsoft positions about 90 grand with over $40,000 in gains.
