Vodafone, Google Expand Partnership With Billion+ Dollar Deal: Details

Vodafone and Three's response to the CMA's Notice of Possible Remedies (Remedies Notice) has been published today.
Vodafone and Three disagree with the CMA's Provisional Findings. Our merger will be pro-growth, pro-customer, pro-investment and pro-competitive for the UK. It is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform UK digital infrastructure with £11 billion of network investment.
We continue to constructively engage with the CMA and remain confident that we can work with them to secure approval. Our response to the Remedies Notice contains several additional commitments, which we believe comprehensively address the issues they have raised.

Vodafone, Three On Sunday, Said Parties Strongly Believe The Merger Is Pro-competitive And Remain Confident That Outstanding Issues Can Be Resolved

Milestone enables Vodafone Ireland to deliver superior customer experiences and operational excellence through a consolidated customer view and simplified architecture
JERSEY CITY, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / September 19, 2024 / Amdocs (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOX#NASDAQ">DOX</a>), a leading provider of software and services to communications and media companies, today announced the successful completion of a unified single business support system (BSS) and operations support system (OSS) platform transformation for Vodafone Ireland, integrating mobile and fixed communication services into a single, streamlined system, enhancing operational efficiency and customer experience.
The new platform provides a consolidated customer view, empowering front-line agents to make informed decisions, reducing errors, and streamlining processes. This transformation leads to a more automated, quicker, and consistent customer journey.

Vodafone Ireland Completes Unified Platform Transformation With Amdocs, Enhancing Customer Experience And Operational Efficiency

As Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) head for a potential Death Cross on their stock charts, a fierce competition between the two tech <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40904071/intel-stock-rises-on-multibillion-dollar-aws-deal-u-s-chip-grant-boost-what-do-anal">giants rages on</a>.
Both companies are not only navigating stock market signals but also making significant strides in AI, shareholder returns, and strategic investments. Let's break down how they stack up.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Microsoft: AI Powerhouse, Shareholder Darling</h2>
Microsoft's stock might be teasing a death cross—a bearish technical indicator—but Wall Street analysts are anything but bearish. KeyBanc Capital Markets has maintained its Overweight rating on Microsoft with a sky-high price target of $490. This confidence is driven by Microsoft's explosive growth in AI, with a 60% quarter-over-quarter increase in Copilot AI customers and a big deployment with Vodafone (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOD#NASDAQ">VOD</a>).
Beyond AI, Microsoft is showing serious love to its shareholders. The tech titan announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40899780/microsoft-stock-is-moving-higher-tuesday-whats-going-on">10% dividend hike</a>, raising the payout to $0.83 per share, and introduced a new $60 billion share repurchase program. This comes as the previous $60 billion buyback program from 2021 wraps up. 
Microsoft's mix of strategic buybacks and increased dividends suggests it's on a mission to keep shareholders hooked while riding the AI wave.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon: Leaner, Meaner, AI-Driven</h2>
Amazon, meanwhile, is in the midst of a major transformation. BofA Securities analyst Justin Post has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40904754/amazons-leaner-structure-and-ai-chip-partnership-with-intel-could-boost-growth-bofa">reiterated his Buy rating</a> on Amazon with a $210 price target, betting on CEO Andy Jassy's vision for a slimmer, more efficient company.
By the end of first quarter of 2025, Amazon is expected to save $700 million annually through streamlining its workforce, reducing management layers, and enforcing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/09/40887347/amazon-to-cut-management-layers-end-work-from-home">return-to-office mandate.</a>
But the real ace up Amazon's sleeve is AWS (Amazon Web Services). Amazon's multi-billion-dollar co-investment with Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) in custom AI chips is set to give AWS a competitive edge in the ever-expanding AI landscape. 
With the AI arms race heating up, Amazon's bet on Intel's cutting-edge 18A chips positions AWS to tap into broad-based AI demand.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Technical Showdown: Death Cross Ahead?</h2>
While both Microsoft and Amazon stock are experiencing slight buying pressure and bullish momentum, the looming death cross—the point where the 50-day moving average dips below the 200-day moving average—casts a shadow over their technical outlooks.

For Microsoft stock, the price remains above key moving averages, with its 50-day SMA at $423.17. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent091824&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="623" height="454" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/17150659/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-11.52.34-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-552561" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/17150659/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-11.52.34-PM.png 623w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/17150659/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-11.52.34-PM-300x219.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px" /></a></figure>

Similarly, Amazon stock&#8217;s price is above its key averages. 
Although these signals typically point to strength, the impending death cross hints at potential turbulence ahead for both.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who's Winning?</h2>
In the AI arena, both companies are playing to their strengths: Microsoft with its rapidly expanding Copilot initiative and Amazon with its AWS dominance. 
However, Microsoft's aggressive shareholder-focused moves, including the buyback and dividend boost, may give it the edge for now. 
On the other hand, Amazon's operational streamlining could position it for stronger long-term growth, especially as it optimizes its workforce and fortifies AWS with custom AI chips.
As the battle heats up and the death cross approaches, Wall Street remains bullish, but cautious investors might want to keep a close eye on the charts.
