'Greenwashing' Concerns Rise as Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Pushes Green Ambitions
Tech giant Microsoft (MSFT) has been on a path of advance that seems almost inexorable. New data centers are going up all over. New cloud operations, entirely new platforms, and more are springing up around Microsoft like weeds in an abandoned lot. But along with all this comes deep concerns about environmental issues. And while Microsoft has made strides there, some believe that Microsoft cannot do everything it is striving to do. Investors are a bit skeptical as well, and sent shares down fractionally in Wednesday afternoon's trading. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Microsoft's focus on artificial intelligence (AI) has proven a particular sticking point. AI requires huge amounts of computing power, and thus electricity, to work. And while new data centers, backed up by whole new electric-generation options, are coming online, Microsoft still insists it can be a force in AI but still be green. In fact, Microsoft swears it will be 'carbon-negative' by 2030, which means that, in five years, Microsoft will officially pull more carbon out of the atmosphere than it emits. With Microsoft planning multiple power plants' worth of emissions, the question of 'how' leaps to the forefront, and one of the unfortunate answers that follows is 'greenwashing,' a kind of accounting wizardry that allows a company to look green even when it is not. One such measure involves a contract with Vaulted Deep, a company making carbon credits by burying, and effectively warehousing, vast quantities of human waste. Pushing for Carbon Neutralization And indeed, Microsoft is ramping up its efforts to make itself look green even as it builds electrical generation power on par with small town use. One report noted that the market has produced about 37 million tons of 'durable carbon credits' that have been purchased since 2019. Of that 37 million, 30 million of those have been bought by Microsoft itself. By way of comparison, Amazon (AMZN) bought 250,000 tons. However, with Microsoft clearly buying in on just about any carbon credit that crops up, it does suggest that there could be a booming industry ahead in producing these carbon credits so Microsoft and its contemporaries can carry on with AI development and building electrical plants at a scale not seen since the Rural Electrification Act. Is Microsoft a Buy, Hold or Sell? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on MSFT stock based on 34 Buys and one Hold assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 26.96% rally in its share price over the past year, the average MSFT price target of $623.34 per share implies 18.75% upside potential.

Why the latest inflation data gives investors a reason to smile
This post originally appeared in the Business Insider Today newsletter. You can sign up for Business Insider's daily newsletter here. Good morning. Ever considered investing in real estate? You might already have a big piece of what you need. "House hacking" is a new strategy homeowners are using to kick-start their rental portfolios. In today's big story, the latest inflation data gave investors a reason to feel upbeat about what's coming next. What's on deck: Markets: Why day traders' summer dominance could be hit with a September chill. Tech: Microsoft is dangling multimillion-dollar offers to poach Meta's AI talent. Business: Taylor Swift used to separate business from her love life. Not anymore. But first, the rally big story A best-case scenario Not too hot, not too cold — this was just right. The latest inflation report struck a good balance, delivering a best-case scenario for the stock market. The S&P 500 closed at a record high on Tuesday, while the Nasdaq rose over 1% and the Dow spiked nearly 500 points. US stock futures are continuing the climb this morning. The consumer price index rose 2.7% year-over-year in July, below economists' expectations of 2.8%. The figures may seem marginal, but for markets, this was the sweet spot. That's largely because it was likely low enough to allow the Federal Reserve to cut rates at its September meeting, BI's William Edwards writes. At the same time, the inflation reading was high enough to ease recession fears that had flared after the disappointing July jobs report, which included significant downward revisions to previous data. (The report rattled more than just economists — Trump promptly fired Bureau of Labor Statistics director Erika McEntarfer after the data was released.) Meanwhile, the latest inflation report opens up more positive possibilities. The CME FedWatch Tool now shows markets seeing 92% odds the Fed cuts rates by 25 basis points next month, up from about 80% on Monday. Higher odds are also now being priced in for cuts in October and December. For Trump, rate cuts can't come soon enough. "Jerome 'Too Late' Powell must NOW lower the rate. Steve 'Manouychin' really gave me a 'beauty' when he pushed this loser. The damage he has done by always being Too Late is incalculable." Writing in a Truth Social post early Tuesday, Trump said that he is also "considering allowing a major lawsuit against Powell to proceed" over the "grossly incompetent" job he's done renovating the Federal Reserve. This is the latest twist in Trump's feud with the Fed Chair, which seems to remain in an uncomfortable phase. The markets, at least, may be entering a brighter one. 3 things in markets 1. America's biggest bank is about to open its new headquarters. JPMorgan Chase's new 60-story skyscraper at 270 Park Avenue is full of high-end perks and amenities. The building includes a "state-of-the-art" gym — which the bank said employees will have to pay a membership fee to access — an Irish pub, AI tech systems, and more. Take a look. 2. A September showdown may be looming. Day traders outperformed professional money managers this summer, but their dominance might not last long. A historically seasonal pullback in retail trading and other headwinds threaten to upend the summer-long rally. 3. Trump's pick for Bureau of Labor Statistics chief suggested pausing US jobs reports. E.J. Antoni, Trump's nominee and chief economist at the Heritage Foundation, floated the idea on Fox News Digital earlier this month, citing accuracy concerns. Economists and market strategists told BI that such a move would be damaging for investors and economic planners. 3 things in tech 1. Microsoft has Meta AI talent in its sights. The software giant has a list of its most-wanted researchers and engineers from Meta and has already begun offering multimillion-dollar pay packages, documents viewed by BI's Ashley Stewart reveal. It's a step to compete with the eye-popping comp Microsoft's rivals are offering in the AI talent wars. 2. AI coding startups have an inference whale problem. Anthropic and Cursor are facing surging costs from a handful of heavy users, which is eating into their business models. As a result, they're introducing tiers or rate limits to what was formerly a basic fixed-price monthly subscription plan. 3. Baconator with a side of AI? Michael Chorey, the executive responsible for building out the AI automation for Wendy's drive-thru, which he says can take orders faster than a human in a headset, is leaving after five years. Chorey exclusively told BI that he is joining Presto, a tech company developing AI-first drive-thrus, which he believes is the next era of fast-food hospitality. 3 things in business 1. To solve the housing crisis, think outside the bounds. Outside the city bounds, that is. Ned Resnikoff argues that connecting cities, towns, and suburbs into large regional governances would make it easier and cheaper to buy a home in the US. Taxes from exclusive enclaves, like Greenwich, Connecticut, or Sausalito, California, would help support nearby cities. 2. Taylor Swift is in her boyfriend era. The pop star hard-launched the title of her newest album, "The Life of a Showgirl," in a teaser clip of her boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast. It signals a shift in her marketing strategy, where she's putting her S.O. and her relationship front and center. 3. You've heard of quiet quitting, now get ready for quiet cracking. The latest threat to worker engagement is quiet cracking, in which people show up to work and do their jobs but still feel dissatisfied. Some of the warning signs can look like less extreme symptoms of burnout, EY's chief well-being officer told BI.

MTA doubles LIRR passenger seating at Grand Central Madison but passengers say there ‘should definitely be more'
Long Island-bound straphangers can finally take a load off. The MTA unveiled 70 new seats at Grand Central Madison's Long Island Rail Road mezzanine on Tuesday, effectively doubling the number of seats at the station. The scores of two-seat benches near 45th and 46th streets — available only to ticketed LIRR customers within a 90-minute window — bring the number of available seats in the station to 106, MTA reps said — and riders were quick to notice the new addition. 'They're not optimal, but they're pretty comfortable,' said Long Island-based chiropractor Randi Jaffe on Tuesday afternoon, pointing to the 'odd' curvature of the seats. 4 LIRR President Rob Free and Chief Customer Officer Shanifah Rieara announce new seating areas Tuesday on the mezzanine level of Grand Central Madison. LIRR 'It beats standing.' Jaffe, 53, who called the new benches 'fantastic,' added: 'It would be good if they had a back, just for support, but I imagine people aren't sitting on these benches for too long.' 4 Commuters sit on the new metal benches — without backs — at the newly-built Grand Central LIRR hub, designed for brief seating. Kevin C Downs forThe New York Post The station — which didn't have any seating when it opened in 2023 — began the rollout with 28 seats near 47th Street last October, with 14 seats at 45th Street and 28 seats at 46th Street installed this month, the MTA said. The expansion comes after a surge in LIRR ridership — with a record 1.72 million riders during the week of July 23 and an 89% return to pre-pandemic ridership numbers — and a resulting slew of customer feedback, LIRR President Rob Free said at a Tuesday press conference at the station. 'Improving the customer experience is one of our top priorities,' Free said. 4 Passengers waiting on benches at Grand Central Madison. Kevin C Downs forThe New York Post The seats are evidently already so much of a hit with some riders that there was already a resounding call for more. 'I think they're a good addition – I think there could be more of them. Otherwise there's no complaints,' said student Liam Hosey, 20, from Rockville Centre, who was sitting on the floor due to a lack of open seats. 'I was kind of dreading coming down here, not having anything to sit on,' said straphanger Megan Riley, 34. 'I think they're great.' 'There should definitely be more,' said CUNY worker Jean Ryan, 56. 'Especially for people who have mobility issues, and people who are in pain, who have arthritis.' Others, like 30-year-old health care worker Ashley, worried the seats could be taken over by homeless individuals without proper enforcement — but noted the armrest or divider used between seats 'kind of eliminates the possibility.' Another straphanger, Chris Conway of Vermont, refused to sit because of food scraps already soiling the brand-new seat. 4 New seating areas at Grand Central Madison, located on the mezzanine level at 45th and 46th Street. LIRR Despite obvious waste left behind on some of the new seats, the MTA argues customer satisfaction with the 'cleanliness' of the station is up one point from its Fall 2024 survey to 96%. 'Making sure the station is clean and well lit, clear signage as well as improved wayfinding and announcements that can certainly move the needle,' said MTA Senior Advisor for Communications and Policy Shanifah Rieara. Aside from more seats, MTA officials are working to usher in more retail to the terminal – a TRAX restaurant is poised to open at the end of the month, and the MTA is 'in the process of negotiating other leases,' Rieara said. 'We want Grand Central Madison to be a bustling terminal,' she added, 'just like our neighbors upstairs at Grand Central Terminal.'
