Analyst Gil Luria maintained his price target of $475, which is approximately 9% higher than where Microsoft stock closed on Friday. In particular, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform appear to pose the biggest threats to Microsoft's Azure cloud computing platform. But Amazon Web Services is now adding nearly as much cloud business, while Google Cloud Platform's current acceleration is comparable to that of Azure's last-quarter growth rates. "While Microsoft has discussed its Maia chips, it is years behind Amazon and Google and appears to be using them only to run Azure OpenAI Services workloads. We believe this means Microsoft has been escalating an arms race it may not be able to win."

These days, this may happen when a big tech company invests in an AI startup, and then that startup buys cloud and AI services from the big tech company. These arrangements are called "round tripping" because the money invested comes right back in the form of cloud spending. When Amazon Web Services invested $4 billion in Anthropic, the AI startup agreed to use AWS as its "primary cloud provider." In recent years, cloud spending growth has slowed as some customers try to save money in the midst of a lackluster economy with high inflation. An Amazon spokesperson declined to say whether AWS revenue numbers include cloud spending by Anthropic or not.

REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 20 (Reuters) - Investment bank Morgan Stanley (MS.N) is recommending that corporate bond investors focus on higher quality investment-grade and high-yield bonds headed into next year, as a wave of maturities poses risk to more junk-rated companies. Morgan Stanley said it suspects the Federal Reserve has neared the end of its rate-hiking cycle, with a soft landing for the economy in the cards next year. As maturities hit next year, 15-20% of this ratings class is likely to see downgrades to CCC, according to Morgan Stanley. Downgrades will not be limited to junk issuers, Morgan Stanley added. On the leveraged loan front, Morgan Stanley said it expects a return in loan issuance next year for M&A and leveraged buyouts, buoyed in part by anticipated Fed rate cuts.

Alphabet shares fell the most in a year on Wednesday after revenue in the company's Google Cloud unit trailed analyst estimates. Its cloud miss was a stark contrast to Microsoft's earnings, which showed accelerating growth in the company's Intelligent Cloud business. Google posted cloud revenue of $8.41 billion, compared to Street Account estimates of $8.64 billion. "The disappointment at Google Cloud contrasted with better-than-expected Azure growth at Microsoft," UBS analysts said. Jefferies analysts noted Google Cloud grew 22%, slower than the 28% growth the company posted in the second quarter.

Wall Street is optimistic ahead of Google 's quarterly earnings announcement Tuesday as the tech giant's advertising revenue growth shows signs of recovery. Analyst Ronald Josey estimates search revenue growth gained 11.3% year-over-year, versus the consensus projection of 9.6%. Bank of America sees search growth accelerating Bank of America also maintained its buy rating and $146 price target. We expect disruption with the format change, which will likely drive headwinds to medium-term search growth. Competitors are likely to bid aggressively for Google's search distribution partnerships, driving profitability lower.

Amazon plans to invest $4 billion in AI startup Anthropic, the firm announced Monday. The move gives Amazon a stake in a foundational AI company to compete with Microsoft and Google. Conor Grennan, dean of students and head of generative AI at NYU Stern, wrote in a LinkedIn post that "this Anthropic deal has predator moves against Microsoft and Google written all over it." Google invested $300M months ago & Anthrophic should have used GCP as their preferred cloud provider. Instead:"Anthropic selects AWS as its primary cloud provider."

A new partnership between Microsoft (MSFT) and Oracle (ORCL) has the potential to benefit both Club holdings in the competitive cloud-computing landscape. Oracle, a database pioneer with more than 40 years of history operating in the market, had existing offerings geared toward Azure customers . Wall Street analysts were generally upbeat on the implications for Microsoft and Oracle, which joined the Club's portfolio a month ago. Analysts at Bernstein downplayed concerns that the deeper partnership with Microsoft will hurt Oracle's fast-growing cloud-computing service, known as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "This partnership also lowers the potential risk of Microsoft trying to target Oracle database customers to move off Oracle.

Alphabet shares hit a 52-week high Tuesday after showcasing its AI and machine learning capabilities at its annual Cloud Next event. Bank of America's Justin Post said the search company was "flexing its AI muscle," adding that its AI capabilities are a major customer selling point and should be a positive driver for the stock. Along with the hardware updates, Alphabet revealed pricing for a suite of AI-powered tools for enterprise customers. At $30 a month, Citi's Ronald Josey called the contribution "material over time," and said the event should mitigate any "remaining overhangs" on Google's Cloud AI capabilities. Correction: Google shares recently hit a 52-week high.

Citi's Ronald Josey maintained a buy rating on with a higher $153 price target, which amounts to more than 25% upside for Alphabet stock. "As revenue growth reaccelerates on an improving online advertising environment and management's greater focus on operating efficiencies, we look for margins to expand going forward as revenue growth consistently outpaces opex growth," Josey said. Wells Fargo analyst Ken Gawrelski reiterated an equal weight rating on Alphabet stock on Wednesday, although with an increased $121 per share price target.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told fellow executives and board members last year that the software company aims to reach $500 billion in revenue by the 2030 fiscal year, more than doubling from its current size. Nadella described a goal of "20/20," involving 20% year-over-year revenue growth and 20% operating income expansion for the 2022 fiscal year and subsequent years. For 2022, Microsoft wound up reaching 18% top-line growth to $198.27 billion in revenue, and 19% operating income growth. In the memo, Nadella used the phrase Microsoft Plus to describe products aimed at consumers. "Our priority is to maintain growth above the market rate to extend our lead over GCP and close the gap with AWS," Nadella wrote in the accompanying document.

Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian spent much of his time at a partner meeting talking about Workspace, tweeted Tony Safoian, CEO of Google Cloud partner SADA Systems. "Around the globe, more than nine million paying organizations, and more than three billion users rely on Google Workspace for communication and collaboration. Other major customers like Deutsche Bank use Google Cloud for cloud infrastructure, but Microsoft Office for collaboration software. Forty-four percent of software procurers whose organization plans to or currently uses Microsoft's collaboration software also use Google Workspace, according to the 2022 Forrester study. While Google Cloud is still unprofitable, it has decreased losses to $480 million, down from $890 million last year.

Amazon , Microsoft and Alphabet , the three leaders in the market for cloud-based storage and servers, all reported deceleration in their respective businesses. On Thursday, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud, which also includes Workplace productivity software, showed revenue for the fourth quarter that was below analysts' estimates. Google Cloud revenue growth slowed to 32% in the fourth quarter from almost 38% in the third period. Amazon , which pioneered the market over 15 years ago and maintains a commanding lead, said AWS revenue growth decelerated to 20% from 27%. "As we look ahead, we expect these optimization efforts will continue to be a headwind to AWS growth in at least the next couple of quarters," Olsavsky said.
Google has for years been playing catch-up in the cloud infrastructure market, where it's seen in the industry as a distant third in the U.S., behind Amazon and Microsoft . The challenge for investors is that the three companies don't report cloud infrastructure metrics in a way that makes them easily comparable. The Azure and other cloud services metric also includes, among other things, enterprise mobility and security, or EMS, tools that can be sold separately. Google parent Alphabet, meanwhile, doesn't tell investors how much revenue or operating income the Google Cloud Platform, or GCP, generates. It only discloses those figures for what it calls Google Cloud, which includes subscriptions to Google Workspace collaboration software, as well as GCP, a direct Azure rival.
SHANGHAI, Nov 21 (Reuters) - China's greenhouse gas emissions have been in decline since last year but could still be some way from their peak, with the country's policies still not fully aligned with long-term goals to limit temperature increases, a survey of Chinese experts said on Monday. Energy consumption, driven by heavy industrial economic growth, was still growing too fast to meet climate goals. Global climate talks ended on Sunday with a commitment to establish a fund to help the most vulnerable nations, but countries failed to reach a consensus on bringing global emissions to a peak by 2025. This month, an annual report by the Global Carbon Project (GBP) estimated that China's emissions would fall by 0.9% in 2022, raising hopes that they have already peaked. "Over the coming years we will see growth (in emissions) coming from China before we see stabilisation and eventually decline."

Fundația de Investiții Directe din Rusia, care a depus cererea la EMA, a calificat cele relatate de Reuters drept speculații. Ei cred ca în termen de două luni Sputnik V va primi undă verde în Europa. Înțelegem în ce stadiu este acum Sputnik și cum arată procesul de înregistrare a vaccinului. Poziția publică a EMA privind Sputnik V va fi exprimată după a doua etapă – evaluarea cererii de autorizare. În primul rând, este eficacitatea, care este dovedită în a treia etapă a studiilor clinice – de preferință cel puțin 50%.

Информация о переносе ЕС одобрения российской вакцины не соответствует действительности, также подчеркнули в РФПИ. – Сроки получения “Спутником V” регистрации EMA стали объектом постоянных спекуляций со стороны прессы, ссылающейся на анонимные источники информации. Хотя принятие решения о сроках проведения процедуры является прерогативой EМА, команда “Спутника V” рассчитывает на получение вакциной регистрации в течение двух месяцев, – пояснили в РФПИ.

„Aprobarea (vaccinului) Sputnik va fi întârziată probabil până în septembrie, poate chiar până la sfârşitul anului”, a spus oficialul, rămas sub protecţia anonimatului. Fondul de Investiţii Direct al Rusiei (RDIF), care comercializează vaccinul, a spus că analiza EMA este în grafic. Guvernul german condus de cancelarul Angela Merkel a avut discuţii pentru a cumpăra Sputnik V, dar a condiţionat orice achiziţie de aprobarea din partea EMA. Deranjate de campania lentă de imunizare, unele landuri, inclusiv Bavaria, şi-au exprimat interesul la începutul anului pentru a comanda Sputnik V, însă de atunci vaccinarea s-a accelerat. Slovacia a devenit în această lună a doua ţară din UE, după Ungaria, care a început imunizarea cu Sputnik V, în ciuda faptului că nu există o aprobare a UE.
