Microsoft CorporationMicrosoft shares surged 29% over eight sessions to $494.12 following its July 29 earnings report, but the rally masks a 23% drop in free cash flow to $19.6 billion amid heavy AI infrastructure spending. Revenue jumped 18% to $90 billion, Azure grew 43%, and commercial remaining performance obligations soared 84% to $678 billion, yet the company must invest heavily in chips, electricity, and data centers before that backlog converts to cash. At $494.12, the stock trades 14.69% below the GF Value estimate of $579.21, suggesting potential upside, but sustaining the climb will require Microsoft to demonstrate that its AI investments can generate substantial cash returns.
