Microsoft CFO Says OpenAI Investment Will Impact MSFT Profit
Despite the potential of the move, Microsoft is set to be greatly impacted by its OpenAI investment. Indeed, the company’s CFO, Amy Hood, recently said that the investment will have an impact on its earnings for this quarter. Although the move will be beneficial in the long run, the cost will undoubtedly cut into profits. According to Hood, the company will report nearly $1.5 billion in expenses. That will be in large part because of the loss that the company is predicting to take on its investment into the ChatGPT developer. To this point, the company has put nearly $14 billion into the company, with its most recent investment coming as recently as October.
