Technical Analysis 
Jun 21, 2026, 12:00 amThis summary was created by AI, based on 120 opinions in the last 12 months.
Microsoft Corp (MSFT) is currently viewed as a solid investment opportunity by multiple experts, despite facing challenges associated with its AI strategy and cloud growth concerns. The company's earnings report showed strong performance, exceeding expectations in both EPS and revenue, yet recent fluctuations have been attributed to heightened capital expenditure and competitive dynamics, particularly in the AI landscape. While MSFT is praised for its strong cash flow, growing Azure cloud business, and resilience in software, fluctuating investor sentiments regarding its AI initiatives have contributed to its stock volatility. The consensus among analysts is that MSFT is relatively undervalued compared to its historical benchmarks, with potential for significant upside as it continues to innovate and execute its long-term strategies.
His preference is MSFT, and he'd buy today. Valuation is ~20x PE -- very fair valuation for business with good outlook for earnings growth for next 3-5 years. A bit more value than AMZN right now. Business model supports a better compounding over the long run, and generates significantly more FCF. Late to the AI race, and that's the reason for the selloff.
No issues with AMZN. Very well run, targeting new markets. You can't own all the tech companies, so you have to pick your spots.
Chris BlumasHurt by worries of software and of cloud growth slowing. Copilot AI project not loved. Tied itself to OpenAI, which seems to be losing a bit of steam to Gemini and Anthropic. Trading at only 22x forward PE. Better value today than in quite a while.
John Zechner
There are legitimate concerns of the AI product being lesser than others, as well as the software component. Its collaboration with Open AI has caused it to fall behind others in the race. However it recently re-negotiated a deal with Open AI to explore other avenues which should open things up for Microsoft. The Azure cloud offering is growing at 40% plus, and its software offerings eg Windows, etc. are a perfect launching pad for an AI application. It is 30 % off its highs. Buy 68 Hold 3 Sell 1

Good runway to price target. A hardware and software company, but put in penalty box because of software. Well positioned for enterprise, consumer, and even government services. In his top 5 holdings.

Kim BoltonTech companies like this got too expensive and got ahead of themselves. MSFT is still growing in double digits. AI won't go away, so the companies that invested will benefit for many years. MSFT is depressed now because it's not as an exciting story as Micron or Nvidia. The PE of 22x is attractive. Software isn't going anywhere.
Views it as a utility. Great company, wonderful platform, not just software. Innovative. Lofty 24x PE now, but potential of 12x PE for 2030 if estimates hold. Great moat, wonderful balance sheet, high operating/gross margins. Yield is 0.88%.

Premium contentWith recent earnings showing growth in cash reserves as debt was aggressively retired and shares bought back, we reiterate MSFT as a TOP PICK. Its subscription based business helps stabilize cash flow as its AI and cloud based systems continue to show excellent development opportunities. It trades at 27x earnings and supports a ROE over 30% and the dividend has been growing by over 10% per annum. We continue to recommend a stop at $360, looking to achieve $531 -- upside potential of 24%. Yield 0.8%

He has no software exposure (13% tech across the firm, a significant underweight). Have to pick your spots. Agentic AI puts software companies in a tricky position. Investing heavily in AI infrastructure, so less $$ to return to shareholders. Trading better than only 30% of S&P stocks in last 52 weeks.
On the other hand, sees semiconductors in a similar vein to copper and a call on the economy, and where pricing power gives inflation protection.
