TIP813: Microsoft (MSFT): Is Microsoft a Misunderstood AI Opportunity? w/ Daniel Mahncke & Shawn O’Malley
About this episode
Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a deep dive into Microsoft — the $3 trillion incumbent whose entire investment thesis now hinges on two of the most contested questions in technology: whether AI will reinforce or quietly dismantle the software franchises that built the company, and whether the OpenAI partnership is the strategic masterstroke it appeared to be in 2023, or a relationship that is slowly turning from asset into liability.
