Microsoft is in our portfolio for a simple reason: it's one of the few companies that has the infrastructure, the distribution model and a customer base ready to pay for AI, all at once. Azure is accelerating, and every point of share taken from competitors ties back into the rest of the suite, from Office through to the security layer.
We don't see Copilot as a gadget but as pricing leverage. Raising the per-seat price on a productivity suite that hundreds of millions of users are already used to is the cleanest path to revenue growth we know of. Monetization is only just ramping up, and that is exactly the mechanism we're playing.
What would change our minds: a clear slowdown in Azure below market growth, or signs that data centre capex isn't translating into margin. As long as the cloud backlog keeps growing and AI lifts suite pricing, we stay put.
