The bull case rests on azure is a primary beneficiary of enterprise ai workloads and copilot creates a new monetization layer across office, while the main pushback is heavy ai capex pressures near-term free cash flow. The clearest signal to watch next is copilot attach-rate inflection, which is the catalyst most likely to move the read from here.
