Microsoft to Raise $25 Billion in US Bond Sale: Report
The offering would fund AI infrastructure as Microsoft seeks more capital while preserving cash flow and financial flexibility, analysts said.
- On Wednesday, Microsoft reported record-breaking quarterly revenue of $92.3bn, driven by strong growth in its cloud computing business.
- To offset massive AI infrastructure spending, Microsoft offered voluntary buyouts to around 60,000 employees, equaling roughly 27% of its workforce to cut costs.
- The AI-heavy Agents and Infra segment accounted for $76.8 billion in revenue, while Microsoft CFO Hood reported capital expenditures reached $45.2 billion, primarily for CPUs and GPUs.
- Shares rose nearly 2.9% in New York trading Wednesday, as Microsoft's $18.6 billion free cash flow contrasts with negative cash flow from Google and Meta.
- Microsoft expects capital expenditures to breach $50 billion next quarter, as the company continues prioritizing AI-heavy Agents and Infra to deliver greater capability and cost efficiency.
