微软盘中暴跌12%，市值蒸发4300亿美元，为何？

Core Viewpoint - Microsoft's latest earnings report showed that both revenue and profit exceeded Wall Street expectations, yet the stock price dropped over 12% in intraday trading, resulting in a market cap loss of $430 billion, marking the second-largest single-day market cap loss in U.S. history [2] Financial Performance - For Q2 of fiscal year 2026, Microsoft reported revenue of $81 billion, a 17% year-over-year increase, surpassing market expectations by 1% [5] - Non-GAAP EPS was $4.41, reflecting a 23% year-over-year growth, exceeding market expectations by 5% [5] - Azure cloud business grew by 38% at constant currency, slightly above Wall Street's forecast of 37% [5] Capital Expenditure Concerns - Microsoft's capital expenditure reached $37.5 billion for the quarter, a 66% year-over-year increase, exceeding market expectations by 9% [6] - Investors expressed concerns over the rising capital expenditures, which were expected to drive significant Azure growth that did not materialize immediately [6][8] - Goldman Sachs noted that Microsoft's strategy involves prioritizing first-party applications and internal R&D over short-term Azure revenue growth [6][10] Azure Growth and Capacity Constraints - Microsoft management indicated that Azure is currently facing capacity constraints rather than a lack of demand [13] - Goldman Sachs emphasized that Azure's growth guidance of 37%-38% should be viewed as a reflection of capacity allocation rather than pure demand [13] - If Microsoft had not allocated capacity to first-party applications, Azure's revenue growth could have exceeded 40% [14] AI Product Development - The commercialization path for Copilot is becoming clearer, with a 160% year-over-year increase in M365 Copilot seats, reaching 15 million paid seats [15] - Copilot is expected to have a better customer lifetime value to customer acquisition cost ratio compared to Azure, due to its higher gross margins and customer stickiness [15] Valuation Adjustments - Goldman Sachs adjusted Microsoft's valuation model, lowering the target price from $655 to $600 based on limited visibility on capital expenditure translating into revenue growth [7][16] - Key downside risks include lower-than-expected revenue contributions from the OpenAI partnership, prolonged ramp-up times for internal chip production, and potential leadership changes [16]
