Microsoft just published FY26 Q4.
Profits increased 31%, robust cloud growth, Azure cloud sales moved past $100 billion, grew 43% in the quarter.
Microsoft currently has the strongest financial cover with operating free cashflow, for its capex-spending.
Microsoft used roughly 65% of quarterly operating cash flow for cash capex and still produced $19.6B of free cash flow.
Comparing with Google Capex for the quarter
- Alphabet: $44.9B in cash capex
- Microsoft: $35.8B in cash capex
(Microsoft reported $41B of total capex, including lease-financed infrastructure)
So the top 3 AI infrastructure builders (Google, Microsoft, Meta) deployed ~$111B of cash capex in 1 quarter alone.
