Microsoft Corp (MSFT) finds itself at a crossroads as it navigates through concerns regarding its AI investments and overall market valuation. Experts express a blend of optimism and caution, noting that while the stock is experiencing pressure from fears surrounding its cloud growth and competition with AI rivals, it remains fundamentally strong due to its solid revenue growth and significant free cash flow. Many analysts believe that the current valuation at around 20-25x forward PE represents a fair price, especially given the company’s projected earnings growth over the next few years. The shift towards subscription-based revenue models and the potential of its AI initiatives, particularly the Azure cloud services, are highlighted as key drivers for future growth. Overall, despite the recent selloff, there's a solid belief in Microsoft's long-term potential, making it a potential buy on dips.

WEAK BUY

MSFT vs. GOOG for a 10-year hold? He owns GOOG, but isn't against MSFT. GOOG is about 6-8 multiple points cheaper than MSFT. Both very good businesses and operators. Fantastic turnaround, making software into a service. Second-largest cloud business, plus great gaming technology. GOOG has a larger moat.

BUY

Believes company has good long term prospects. Now a good time to buy given market sell off. Once market recovers, will reward shareholders. Great business that is well run.

BUY

MSFT vs. AMZN vs. META vs. GOOG Only 25 PE. Real earnings, real market. AMZN is constantly investing for future growth, and this will be more sensitive with rising rates than companies that have near-term earnings. GOOG is a question mark in the middle because, while it has a good revenue base, every government in the world is after them to share. MSFT or even AAPL is a good, long-term, stable company with real earnings for the future.

TOP PICK

Market conditions are presenting buying opportunity for this high quality company. Company very healthy, with great business model, balance sheet and future prospects. Expecting ~15% earnings every year over the next five years. Weak market will preset going buying M&A opportunities for the company.

BUY

They have a high recurring revenue base. Their cloud business is still growing at a strong clip of 35-40%. He just loaded up on it. It has a sustainable business.

BUY

Stock's getting hammered, but fundamentals are improving. Guiding for double-digit revenue growth. Perhaps bottom line growth won't be as fast. Strong USD is hurting some of its profits. Big tech will cut costs and show strong margins. He'd buy today.

WEAK BUY

One of the very few tech names he still owns. Likes that it's large, established, and its cloud business, which is favourable long term. 23x earnings, 10-11% growth rate. Down from highs, so you can park some money here.

DON'T BUY

They had plenty of growth from at-home work. PCs and gaming are lacklustre, but so is their cloud division. Their forecast was ugly. We're no longer in the early innings of cloud division, but the 5th of 6th with many competitors. It's too late to hop onto the cloud bandwagon.

BUY

It has replaced Apple as the haven for safety, the dependable company. Apple lost people's confidence last quarter when it talked about weaker iPhone sales and problems with China. MSFT isn't the cheapest stock (Alphabet and Meta are cheaper), but MSFT is reliable because of cloud. Gaming may be weak this quarter but MSFT telegraphed that. Their PE has come down a lot.

WEAK BUY

He is cautious and not confident about all the FAANGs, but MSFT is okay because their cloud growth will be there.

BUY

Their cloud business has grown nicely through the pandemic and after. Next week when the megacaps report, the theme will be the effect of foreign exchange (the strong US dollar). Over 50% of MSFT's exposure is overseas. But there's a lot of strength in cloud, so MSFT will continue to do well.

BUY

Next week, FAANG reports. Even if they report positively, will the market believe it, because their PE's are above the S&P's. That said, he likes MSFT for its recurring revenues from enterprise cloud, a high-margin business.

DON'T BUY

When it reports, he fears it won't make up for the Windows shortfall like the weak performance of semiconductors as reported last week.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 31/22, Down 12.1%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with MSFT has triggered its stop $240. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. When combined with the previous buy recommendation, this will result in net investment loss of 14%.

COMMENT

The question included big name tech stocks in general. They have had tailwinds of falling interest rates for 40 years and investors have been overloaded in them. Tech stocks have under-performed since the beginning of the year. Multiples are coming down. Be careful with stocks trading sideways so be careful with companies such as Shopify. Even though it is a great company it is trading at 137X next year's earnings.
