Microsoft Corp. has canceled some leases for US data center capacity, according to TD Cowen, raising broader concerns over whether it’s securing more AI computing capacity than it needs in the long term.

TD Cowen noticed Microsoft doing something strange on Friday. The Open AI partner and tech giant appeared to be cancelling data center leases. According to the market analysts, this is part of a wider pattern. TD Cowen said Microsoft had an “oversupply” problem. It’s another datapoint that points to Big Tech’s nervousness around its big bet on AI.

In response, Microsoft told BI it "may strategically pace or adjust our infrastructure in some areas" and will "continue to grow strongly."
