Microsoft intends to invest approximately 190 billion dollars by the end of the year, primarily for the construction of data centers. CFO Amy Hood stated that growing customer demand for cloud services like Microsoft Azure is expected to continue outstripping supply. The company remains confident that these large-scale investments will yield returns. Recent profits reached nearly 32 billion dollars due to rising demand for storage and computing power.
