Article Summary
BUY- Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) announced a major expansion into energy storage, launching a new subsidiary called Ford Energy in response to what it calls massive demand for domestic energy storage amid rising demand for energy from AI-driven data centers.
- Microsoft Corporation's stock rose to its highest level in three years after launching the $2 billion energy business, while GE Vernova booked $2.4 billion in electric equipment orders for data centers in the first quarter alone, more than it made all of last year in equivalent sales.
- Bloom Energy stock surged more than 1,200% over the past year, while geothermal startupervo Energy surged after going public, and data-center giant Digital Realty reported 60% year-to-date stock gains.
- Investors are increasingly rewarding companies pivoting to or doubling down on energy as the power behind the AI boom, but opposition to data centers is intensifying and some projects may never come to fruition.
