Microsoft has started canceling leases for significant datacenter capacity in the U.S., indicating potential overcapacity in AI computing. This decision, as reported by TD Cowen, suggests a cautious outlook on future demand for AI services. The company is also shifting some of its international spending back to the U.S., hinting at a slowdown in global leasing activities.
Despite these cancellations, Microsoft maintains its commitment to spend $80 billion on AI data centers this fiscal year. Analysts speculate that this pullback may be linked to OpenAI exploring partnerships with other companies like Oracle. The overall impact on third-party data center demand appears neutral, but the situation raises questions about the sustainability of Microsoft's aggressive AI investments.
