The Few Bets That Matter
$MSFT is falling for the exact same reason $META did a quarter ago.

Margin compression.

And just like $META, higher expenses are mostly amortization. The cash was already spent via CapEx and cash generation isn’t impacted.

Same ridiculous playbook. https://t.co/araRRbx0v3

Keep in mind that $META expenses include depreciation and amortization.

You can’t complain twice; once when CapEx is spent, and again later when D&A hits margins.

Chose your poison.

From a cash perspective, the money was already spent when the infrastructure was bought. D&A impacts the P&L, not actual cash flow.

So if margins start to look compressed, check FCF instead of net income. Cash generation will stay strong even if margins and net income take a hit.

If anything, the income is used for taxes so it could reduce them which would be a net positive for $META without any impact on its cash generation.

This will matter a lot when looking at hyperscalers the next few quarters.

$TSLA Tesla used to update this market share chart every quarter.

In Q4, the chart quietly disappeared.

When companies stop reporting a metric, it’s rarely because it no longer matters.

It’s because it stopped looking good. https://t.co/TL40npYNpo

RT @godofprompt: Telling an LLM to "act as an expert" is lazy and doesn't work.

I tested 47 persona configurations across Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini.

Generic personas = 60% quality
Specific personas = 94% quality

Here's how to actually get expert-level outputs: https://t.co/iFZPTtp6Oh
