According to TechFlow Research, a Bernstein research report on August 10 pointed out that Microsoft's current lease liabilities increased 33% year-over-year to $114.4 billion, future lease obligations surged 255% year-over-year to $329.1 billion, and fiscal 2027 procurement commitments reached $169 billion. The report believes the market has misread these figures: existing leases are spread over a 13-year period, with rent expiring in 2027 at approximately $13.2 billion; the $329.1 billion future leases will commence sequentially between 2027 and 2033, assuming an average lease term of 12 to 15 years, the annualized rent growth rate is approximately 12% to 16%, roughly in line with Microsoft's commercial cloud revenue historical growth rate; among the $169 billion procurement commitments, GPU servers account for only a portion and are concentrated within 12 months, with only $25 billion for fiscal 2028 and beyond. The report maintains Microsoft's "Outperform" rating, with the price target raised from $647 to $660 and the P/E multiple raised from 26.5x to 27x. Bernstein believes that data center designs support hybrid deployment of CPU and GPU, and if AI demand slows down, capacity can be shifted to traditional cloud business. AI accounts for approximately 16% to 17% of Microsoft's commercial cloud revenue, but since AI gross margin is approximately 27%, far lower than traditional cloud business, AI accounts for approximately 40% of commercial cloud cost of sales. Management stated at the Q4 earnings call that current demand still far exceeds available supply.

Odaily News: The cross-chain bridge connecting XRP Ledger and Coreum was attacked on August 9. The attacker exploited a validation logic vulnerability to steal approximately 199,900 XRP, reducing the bridge's asset balance from roughly 200,400 XRP to 493.5 XRP. The attack did not involve private key leaks and did not target the XRP Ledger protocol itself. The attacker forged deposit operations, causing the bridge system to recognize them as legitimate deposits and triggering the bridge wallet on the other end to send real XRP. On-chain data shows that the attacker completed the fund transfer through 94 multi-signature authorization transactions within 97 minutes. These transactions required signatures from 17 of the 28 relay node keys, allowing the attacker to bypass the bridge's validation mechanism. As of August 11, the Coreum cross-chain bridge remains suspended, and the Coreum Development Foundation has not yet released an official incident report. The XRP mainnet and user private keys remain unaffected and secure.

According to TechFlow Research, Reuters reported on August 4 that the Trump administration and the FCC are drafting a plan to ban US imports of Chinese data center components, with optical modules specifically mentioned. Goldman Sachs responded to three core questions in an August 10 research report: rapid technological iteration, strong AI demand, and high R&D requirements for multiple SKU varieties make clients more reliant on existing leading manufacturers in the current environment and unlikely to switch to new suppliers easily. Seven of the top ten global optical module suppliers are headquartered in China, and their market share in 2025 will expand further compared to 2024. Goldman Sachs pointed out that leading manufacturers have outstanding advantages in capacity commitments, automated production, and manufacturing efficiency. Product upgrades to 1.6T and above further raise the manufacturing threshold, making it difficult for small and medium-sized manufacturers to catch up in the short term. Overseas capacity deployment is underway; Eoptolink's Phase I in Thailand is at full capacity, and Phase II will expand in 2026, establishing a long-term diversification trend. Goldman Sachs gave Buy ratings to Eoptolink and Robotechnik, and also gave Buy ratings to FOCI, LandMark, and VPEC (all Taiwan stocks), believing that technology, capacity, and customer synergy constitute difficult-to-replicate competitive barriers.
