This summary was created by AI, based on 73 opinions in the last 12 months.

Microsoft Corp (MSFT) continues to be viewed as a strong player in the technology sector, bolstered by its enduring business model rooted in essential software products and an expansive cloud business. However, there are mixed sentiments regarding its AI initiatives, with concerns over the effectiveness of offerings like CoPilot and challenges surrounding its partnership with OpenAI. Despite recent stock price fluctuations and missed earnings estimates, many analysts maintain MSFT as a must-own stock due to its generous cash flow, strong balance sheet, and strategic investments in AI and cloud technologies. The company is recognized for its recurring revenue model and has a solid historical performance track, making it a desirable investment prospect amid ongoing market uncertainties.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 24/24, Up 8%)

Hitting all-time record highs, with more upside. Still holds. His biggest exposure to technology.

TRADE

One of his top-performing stocks. He targets $514. Very well-run company. Boasts solid moats in enterprise software and operating systems, which ensures recurring revenue and customer retention. Azure Cloud remains second only to AWS. The valuation may be elevated, but MSFT is good now for selling some calls given volatility. Keep the calls pretty sure, writing calls around $490-495.

BUY

You still have to see how they will capitalize on AI, but they are in the best position to capitalize.

HOLD
MSFT vs. META

Excellent company that meets his criteria. If you made him choose one or the other today, he'd have to say META based on valuation (with the assumption that the investor would hold a position for the long run). MSFT trading ~37-38x PE, whereas META is in the mid-high 20s.

TOP PICK

Likes the stickiness to both personal and corporate clients -- once you get into the network, it's very hard to get out. Cloud business has improved significantly. If quantum computing ever comes to the forefront, MSFT is there. 

ROIC is 23% vs. WACC of 9%. This gives them lots of cashflow to pour money into the next greatest thing. R&D development is important, given how fast things are changing these days. Yield is 0.72%.

(Analysts’ price target is $513.08)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 27/25, Up 17.3%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with MSFT is progressing well.  To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $374) to $412 at this time.  

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 10/24, Up 9%)

Incredibly wide competitive moat. Growing quickly, especially in Azure and the cloud. Globally dominant franchise difficult to dislocate anytime soon.

BUY

It's a great company, because monetizing AI though Copilot adoption is early.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Fared very well during the downturn and reported great numbers last week. Very positive on it, based on the generative AI trend. Growing cloud business well. 365 Copilot gaining traction. Expected to grow 15% top and bottom lines. Not cheap at 28x.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He has been buying tech during this dip, in April particularly. We will eventually exit this volatility and find stability and confidence in the market again. Meta and Microsoft are some of his key holdings, and they affirmed their capex guidance--they are spending to make incredible investments over the next three years, because they know AI is the biggest super-cycle every in technology. There is incredible pent-up demand for AI from businesses and consumers. The CEO of MSFT reported that his company processed 50 trillion tokens last month alone, or 3.5 million years of AI conversation.

PAST TOP PICK

Our PAST TOP PICK with MST is progressing well.  To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $340) to $374 at this time.  

STRONG BUY

They reported a strong beat after the bell: 19% YOY EPS growth and 15% YOY revenue growth in a top and bottom line beat. Also, all three segments beat expectations, including intelligent cloud and Azure. Excellent results. Markets will rally tomorrow.

COMMENT

Alphabet's report and positive news on the cloud is probably a good thing for MSFT who will report this week.

WEAK BUY
MSFT vs. META

A month ago, he reduced his tech holdings a lot. Thirst for AI continues pretty strong. Economic environment would have to be pretty tough for this name to go down too much more, but that could happen.

Both names are great. MSFT is a bit more expensive. META can suffer more on advertising if we go into a tougher economic environment. If you're confident that Trump wants to win the midterms and wants to be popular, and that we're going to avoid the worst-case outcome, you can buy both at these levels. Between the two, META gets the nod.

WATCH

They report Wednesday. They've disappointed 3 straight quarters, with soft outlooks after delivering solid results. Co-Pilot needs to gain serious traction while data centre spending stays strong, but not too strong, and hopes that Azure resumes acceleration. If it misses once more, this will be punished.
