Microsoft shares ROSE 2% Wednesday despite losing two critical AI infrastructure leaders—Nidhi Chappell, head of AI infrastructure, and Sean James, director of energy and data center research. James defected to Nvidia, dealing a blow to Microsoft's AI ambitions amid existing power constraints for its chip operations.
Analysts warn the exits could hinder progress. "Solving the energy wall isn't trivial," noted Counterpoint Research's Neil Shah. The market's muted reaction suggests confidence in Microsoft's broader AI strategy, even as it faces talent attrition in a hyper-competitive field.
