This summary was created by AI, based on 120 opinions in the last 12 months.

Microsoft Corp (MSFT) continues to be viewed with a degree of skepticism and optimism by market experts. While there are concerns about its position in the AI race and its reliance on OpenAI, analysts are largely positive about Microsoft's overall performance in the cloud arena, particularly with Azure's growth expected to exceed 40%. The company's recent earnings showed a strong performance, despite a sell-off initiated by higher capex spending. Numerous analysts believe that Microsoft's recent decline presents an opportunity to buy at attractive valuation levels, as it trades at a PE ratio that is competitive with the broader market. Many experts encourage taking advantage of any dips for long-term investment, highlighting MSFT's strong cash flow and dividend growth, which underpin its resilience despite the broader challenges faced by the software sector.

What AI stock to buy?

Also, Nvidia, Google and Meta, all have the money to invest in this and buy smaller companies for the long-term.

TOP PICK

Still has a decent runway. He targets $375. If they are allowed to buy Activision, it will add to their cloud and other businesses. A core holding. Also are a major player in AI. They have chat GPT embedded in their APIs.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 12/23, Up 37.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with MSFT is progressing well.  We now recommend to trail up the stop (from $260) to $315. 

BUY

A great business with recurring revenues, with high-margin software revenues. Cloud will re-accelerate growth. AI will drive an upgrade cycle.

DON'T BUY

He has traded it and wouldn't buy now. It is toying with its previous peak in late 2021 and could meet resistance.

PARTIAL SELL

He trimmed his MSFT holding because valuations were getting high.

BUY
Take profits?

He doesn't sell it, just trims. In all the right areas. Exposure to cloud, gaming, AI, enterprise software. Pricing power, global. Expensive, but not egregiously. Sees 10-15% compound growth for many years to come.

PARTIAL SELL

It has had a big run-up and should level off at 30X earnings which is over-priced. The CEO sold half his shares at the end of 2021. He holds but is not buying more. A good time to take some profit.

HOLD

Very strong business, but shares very highly valued.
Wait for shares to fall before buying.
Excellent A.I. prospects.
Cutting edge of technology. 
Leader in economy. 

PARTIAL BUY

It's incredible that the largest companies--megatech--keep going straight up. But it's inevitable to take profits, like she recently did with Apple. Still a fine company. She added to Microsoft because she sees a little more runway ahead. Markets will more further, because the money sitting on the sidelines is entering the market. But eventually, the market will scrutinize valuations.

PARTIAL SELL

Loves the company. Wouldn't add right now. Recently trimmed on valuation, north of 30x earnings, and free cashflow yield is lower than in the past. Will do exceptionally well over the long term. Risk of multiple contraction. If there are no tax implications, consider trimming just a bit to take some off the table.

BUY

The price target was raised today. It's enjoying the AI tailwind. Tech in general will get bigger and bigger.

PARTIAL SELL

Happy to own Apple and Microsoft, but they've risen too far too fast and gotten ahead of their skiis, so he has taken some profits, but held onto the rest of the shares, because they can grow into their multiples.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Wait for shares to fall before buying.
Excellent company but shares expensive.
Very good A.I. exposure.
Unsure on direction of business.
Better names out there. 

PARTIAL BUY

A top 5 holding for him. Led the charge in generative AI. He trimmed when it approached his price target of $338. Good entry points are $325, 315, and 300. Doubts an entry below $300, as it has so many horses in the race. He has a 3.5% weighting. If you don't want to trim, you could write calls against it with strikes around $335-345.
