The tech giant\u2019s revenue also grew 13%, topping Wall Street\u2019s expectations.<\/p>\n

Since the release of the ChatGPT chatbot in 2022, Microsoft has plowed more and more money into building data centers in what one industry analyst called<\/a> \u201cthe largest infrastructure build-out that humanity has ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

But after 10 consecutive quarters of increased spending for artificial intelligence, the company has put on the brakes, according to financial results released Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In the first three months of 2025, Microsoft spent $21.4 billion on capital expenses, down more than $1 billion from the previous quarter.<\/p>\n

The company is still on track to spend more than $80 billion on capital expenses in the current fiscal year, which ends in June. But the pullback, though slight, is an indication that the tech industry\u2019s appetite for spending on A.I. is not limitless.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Overall, Microsoft\u2019s results showed unexpected strength in its business. Sales surpassed $70 billion, up 13 percent from the same period a year earlier. Profit rose to $25.8 billion, up 18 percent. The results far surpassed Wall Street\u2019s expectations.<\/p>\n

\u201cCloud and A.I. are the essential inputs for every business to expand output, reduce costs, and accelerate growth,\u201d Satya Nadella, Microsoft\u2019s chief executive, said in a statement.<\/p>\n
