Investing.com -- Microsoft has been downgraded to Hold from Buy at Stifel, with analyst Brad Reback warning that Wall Street’s forecasts for fiscal and calendar 2027 are “too optimistic” given cloud supply constraints, rising spending and intensifying AI competition. Reback said it is “time for a break,” cutting the firm’s target price to $392 from $540. Stifel flagged ongoing Azure supply limitations as a central issue. The analysts said that “given the well-documented Azure supply issues, coupled with Google’s strong GCP/Gemini results…and growing Anthropic momentum, we believe near-term Azure acceleration is unlikely.” The firm also expects revenue recognition to normalise after fiscal 2026 benefitted from multiple product cycles. Stifel warned that spending pressures will rise sharply. The firm increased its fiscal 2027 capital expenditure estimate to “~$200B (~40% growth),” well above the Street’s roughly $160 billion expectation. Reback added that higher investment needs mean gross margin estimates must fall, lowering Stifel’s fiscal 2027 forecast to “~63% vs ~67% consensus.” Operationally, Stifel sees Microsoft entering “a new, albeit still efficient, spending phase” to build and commercialise its own AI tools, which is “likely to be a headwind to OM leverage.” While the firm still views Microsoft as well-positioned over the long term, it argued that “the near-term prospects seem a bit more cloudy as Google appears to be rapidly gaining AI share and MSFT’s OAI relationship is not nearly as additive as it once was.” Stifel does not expect the stock to re-rate until capital expenditure growth slows below Azure growth or the cloud platform delivers “a significant acceleration.” Related articles Stifel issues rare Microsoft downgrade on cloud and AI concerns These 2 stocks are best positioned to benefit from higher uranium prices: analyst HSBC raises silver price forecasts as market tightness persists

Valentine’s is on the horizon, which means we are about to officially enter chocolate cake season – that soft-focus part of winter when confectionery and romance blur together. For our four-year-old goddaughter, it is always that time of year. Just hearing the two words together makes her roll her eyes and roll out her little tongue in anticipation of pleasure, like a cartoon kid. When we told her we would come and bake a chocolate cake with her, there were squeals of joy. Settling on a recipe was the first challenge – Ravneet Gill’s fudgy one, Felicity Cloake’s perfect one and Benjamina Ebuehi’s traybaked one were all contenders. We eventually landed on Samin Nosrat’s much-loved, tried-and-tested midnight chocolate cake. It was to be a learning experience for us as much as for her – we never knew that you can make chocolate cake only while wearing a crown. She had to explain this to us at length. The reasoning had something to do with warding off ghosts and crocodiles – or perhaps the crocodiles were warding off the ghosts, and the crowns were for something else. Bluey was involved as well. After donning our crowns and aprons, and setting off to the kitchen, it became very clear who was actually in charge of the process. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and the girl, who speaks mostly in the imperative, began shooting out instructions with the speed and confidence of a football coach. At one point, we had to cut baking paper to size, then we had to draw dragons on the baking paper, which led to a very serious discussion about which of the dragons was good and which evil, and how many there should be of each, in case we needed to draw more. (The verdict: in life, as in cake, balance matters.) View image in fullscreen Here be dragons … Itamar and Sarit’s godchild takes the lead.

科技股的恐慌情绪,蔓延到了亚太市场! 受隔夜美股科技股大跌影响,亚太股市今日(2月5日)也集体下跌。其中,韩国Kospi指数收盘大跌超200点,跌幅接近4%。日经225指数收跌0.88%。 值得注意的是,今日,外国投资者净卖出价值4.99万亿韩元的韩国Kospi指数成份股,创出单日纪录新高。机构投资者也净卖出2.07万亿韩元的Kospi指数成份股。 AT Global Markets首席市场分析师Nick Twidale表示,亚洲市场正受到华尔街隔夜抛售的冲击,不确定是否可以说科技股已经见顶,但市场还有进一步回调的空间,“这是传统的抛售科技股、转向防御性板块的操作”。 韩国股市大跌超200点 2月5日,韩国股市低开低走。截至收盘,韩国Kospi指数下跌207.53点,报5163.57点,跌幅高达3.86%。AI芯片股跌幅居前,SK海力士跌6.44%,三星电子跌5.80%,这两家芯片巨头对Kospi指数拖累最大。当天,外国投资者净卖出价值4.99万亿韩元的韩国Kospi指数成份股,创出单日净卖出额新高。 日本股市当天也下跌。截至收盘,日经225指数下跌0.88%报53818点。权重股方面,软银集团下跌7%,爱德万测试下跌4.81%,瑞可利控股下跌4.68%,基恩士、任天堂跌超2%,东京电子跌近2%。三菱商事上涨6.64%,中外制药上涨4.86%。 隔夜,美股科技股全线重挫,是引发亚洲科技股下跌的主因。 最近几个交易日,投资者一直在从科技巨头转向沃尔玛等防御型股票,担忧人工智能会对就业造成冲击。近期由Anthropic旗下Claude大型语言模型推出的新法律工具引发的抛售潮,导致软件股蒸发了近万亿美元市值。 这轮下跌并非由泡沫担忧引发,而是由人工智能即将颠覆众多公司商业模式的担忧引发,而末日预言者长期以来一直预测这些公司处于危险之中。 Jonestrading首席市场策略师迈克尔·奥鲁克表示:“我不认为这是过度反应。两年来,我们一直说AI将改变世界,是一项跨代技术。而最近几周,我们已看到它在实际中显现迹象。” “今天可能是法律科技,明天就可能是销售、市场营销或金融。”KeyBanc的分析师Jackson Ader表示。 除了投资者的不安情绪,甚至一直以来被视为AI热潮主要受益者的公司也表现出疲态。DA Davidson董事总经理Gil Luria表示:“起初只是抛售软件...

The bank was under a regulatory technology embargo in 2024 due to identified shortcomings. Credit: T. Schneider/ Shutterstock.com. Kotak Mahindra Bank is preparing to recruit up to 500 engineers to strengthen technology infrastructure, reported Bloomberg. Chief technology officer Bhavnish Lathia said the bank is looking to hire from large technology firms and other banks to build what he described as a “technology company with a banking licence.” The current tech workforce, now exceeding 2,000 employees, includes professionals who previously worked at companies such as Alphabet, Apple, Goldman Sachs Group, and JPMorgan Chase. “Where we see a unique opportunity is in combining talent from deep tech companies with talent that brings deep domain expertise,” Lathia said. The bank was under a regulatory technology embargo in 2024 due to identified shortcomings, but the restriction was lifted last year. During this period, Kotak Mahindra Bank overhauled core banking systems and shifted much of its software development in-house, reducing its reliance on external vendors and giving in-house engineers greater oversight of critical systems. GlobalData Strategic Intelligence US Tariffs are shifting - will you react or anticipate? Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard. Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis. By GlobalData Learn more about Strategic Intelligence According to Lathia, the bank has recorded more than a year without any unplanned outages in its core banking system, despite handling yearly transaction volume growth of 60% to 70%. Transaction processing time for customers using Kotak’s digital app has also dropped from several seconds to under 500 milliseconds. Of the bank’s current engineering staff, around 1,800 have backgrounds in major technology and global finance firms. Another 300 to 500 engineers are expected to join in the next financial year starting April 1. Lathia took on the CTO role last year, following a similar recruitment drive ...

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Back when I rated Qualcomm ( QCOM ) a Buy near $160, the company was starting to look less like just a handset play. Since then, the stock shot up over $205 in October but dropped back down. Now, with the latest post earnings move, it’s set to open around $135. That's almost a 26% drop this month and about 15% lower than when I first called it a Buy. Investors are reacting mostly to the soft Q2 outlook . Management sees revenue at $10.2 to $11 billion and EPS in the $2.45 to $2.65 range. Both numbers came in under what analysts expected. It’s mostly memory shortages hitting handset production harder and sooner than people thought. Even with that setback, I’m still positive on the stock. I think the selloff is too harsh for what looks like a short-term inventory issue tied to DRAM availability and pricing. Qualcomm’s underlying growth, margins and capital returns are getting overlooked. Q1 2026 Earnings Now the stock trades at less than 12 times forward earnings, but auto and IoT are both growing fast. Management is sticking to their $22 billion revenue target for these segments by 2029. If anything, the market isn’t seeing how steady the core business is or how early Qualcomm is in the whole AI and edge computing story. Those should help the company bounce back once the memory shortage eases. Q1 2026 Earnings Handsets are still Qualcomm’s main business, but QCT is getting more diverse. Automotive just posted a record $1.1 billion in sales, 15% higher than last year. Management’s calling for more than 35% growth in auto for Q2. That’s actually picking up, not slowing down. IoT revenue was up 9% to $1.7 billion, thanks to stronger demand in areas like industrial and networking. Buying Alphawave and Ventana Micro Systems lets Qualcomm reach deeper into data center and AI workloads. These aren’t just stories. They’re already showing up in design wins with Volkswagen, Toyota, Hyundai and several Chinese carmakers. Management sa...
