Chris Thom - CIM, DMS, FCSI Microsoft Corp MSFT-Q PARTIAL SELL Jul 31, 2025

Long term, definitely a good investment. Good company, has continued to grow, adapted through all markets. Trades ~41x PE, expensive. If you've owned for a while and done well, you may want to diversify away from it; but over the last 30 years, this has been a bad idea.

PARTIAL SELL

He trimmed a bit yesterday. 12-month price target of $514, so it's pretty close. He had a 7.5-8% weighting and brought it down. You can also write some short-dated (1 week, perhaps 2) calls. Doesn't see any catalyst until earnings come out.

PARTIAL BUY

In a RRIF, time to trim?

Giant cashflow generator. Great dividend grower, though dividend's not big. Making new highs. Winner in cloud, lots of opportunity with Copilot. Great business platforms generate fees. He does have a significant underweight in tech, only about 7%. Expensive, but proved it can execute. Large-cap growth is one of the strongest areas of the market.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Likes dominance in its categories.

WAIT

It reports Wednesday. Wait until the CEO speak before making a move either way.

BUY

They just reported a blowout quarter with Azure cloud growth expanding from 35-39% in just one quarter. He's shocked. Is spending big on AI and it's paying off.
