The contrasting reaction to Microsoft MSFT and Alphabet\u2019s latest earnings has offered Jim Cramer a fresh reason to favour one of the technology giants over the other, as investors increasingly scrutinise how companies are financing their artificial intelligence ambitions.<\/p>\n

The CNBC \u201cMad Money\u201d host believes Microsoft\u2019s ability to manage spending while delivering strong cloud growth puts it in a stronger position, while Alphabet faces growing pressure from its AI infrastructure investments and slowing search business.<\/p>\n

Cramer believes Wall Street is now trusting companies that show financial discipline and returns on their investments.<\/p>\n

Alphabet shares plunged 12.65% on Thursday in their steepest single-day decline, while Microsoft was largely unchanged even as the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.38%.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the stock of Microsoft, with all of its discipline, is now set to soar, while the stock of Alphabet won\u2019t rally,\u201d Cramer said on CNBC. <\/p>\n

\u201cToo much baggage for Alphabet. No discipline. No sense of what it\u2019s supposed to be doing.\u201d <\/p>\n
