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.

TOP PICK

Has owned this for a long time. It has many horses in the race--cloud services which acts like an annuity, which they cross-sell into his its software, and their intelligent cloud segment including Github. They're absorbing their Activision Blizzard purchase which will make them #3 in videogames in the world by revenue--another horse. You can buy it here. He targets $365. Definitely buy now or lower to $250. (Analysts’ price target is $371.18)

TOP PICK

Pulled back about 15%. Attractive long term. Cloud is doing very well, with anticipated accelerating growth. Growth will moderate, but continued recurring revenue stream model. LinkedIn is the go-to for jobs. Activision will broaden participation in gaming. Strong cash position to fund growth in R&D. Yield is 0.87%. (Analysts’ price target is $372.51)

BUY

Is the market overbought? Yes, in the megacap tech names, but not the rest of the market which is correcting, namely consumer discretionary names like William Sonoma and Restoration Hardware, which posted weak outlooks and are selling off. Exceptions among the megatechs are Apple and Microsoft. MSFT's Azure clouD computing must be killing it now, which will take them to new highs by the end of this year.

WEAK BUY

Nice correction. His model price is considerably lower at $181.80. He expects a market bounce into early summer. He'd buy here, and sell in mid-summer or late fall.

BUY

Owns quite a bit. Price increases with inflation shouldn't hold the buyers back. One of few global cloud platforms that allow small and mid-sized software companies to develop software, display it into the cloud and provide it to clients globally. This is a base of recurring revenue. The media and our emotions are making too much of rising interest rates and their relation to tech. Tech can improve even with rising rates.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Good long term business with strong ability to return capital. Stock is over valued (P/E ~30). Should be low to mid 20s. Wait for market pullback to add to position. Well run company with lots of free cash flow and strong balance sheet.

HOLD

Thinks the deal to buy ATVI will go through. Breakup fee of 3B. ATVI is the largest of the gaming companies. A great match and a great buy for MSFT. You'll have to wait for Q4 of 2022 or Q1 of 2023 for the deal to close.

BUY

It's selling around 35x earnings, and its outlook is solid. This and Amazon lead far and away in cloud computing, a business that will only grow.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 18/22, Down 5.3%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with MSFT has triggered its stop at $290. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment gain of 1%. We will watch for another re-entry level.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 08/21, Up 20%) Believes company is executing well with entry into cloud computing. Company is growing at fastest rate in two decades. Excellent financial results from previous quarter. As society continues to digitize, will see more adaption of Microsoft products.

BUY

5-year outlook She is adding at these levels. A strong, profitable company. Their cloud business is growing 45% a year with lots of future growth. Their Office products benefited from work-from-home. Management has transitioned very well to a monthly subscription model, so this recurring income stream is attractive. The LinkedIn deal paid off. They just bought Activision Blizzard, under federal review, but would be accretive, and the deal positions MSFT down the road for the metaverse if that becomes a reality.

DON'T BUY

Believes higher interest rates will negatively affect tech companies. Investors should look to other opportunities. Believes company has run out of growth options.

COMMENT

Comparison question from caller. Owns Microsoft but not Adobe. Prefers Microsoft since it has pulled back and has better exposure to the cloud. Its cash flow allows for for more growth - the company re-oriented to growth 9 or 10 years ago. It put up great numbers in the last quarter. Trades at a premium but has earned it.

HOLD

Reported fantastic quarter last week. Average 12-month target of $383, good runway in front. If you own it, hold on. He added at $295. Recent acquisition increased its addressable market, excellent fit for MSFT. Should always be a core holding in a tech portfolio, though you can trim it here and there.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate MSFT, a $2.25 trillion market cap behemoth as a TOP PICK. Recently reported EPS beat analyst expectations and managed a 45% ROE. It trades at 33x earnings, compared to peers over 60x. It pays a smallish (but growing) dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 30% of cash flow. We like that it continues to grow cash reserves while buying back shares and paying down debt. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $265) to $290, looking to achieve $372 -- upside potential over 21%. Yield 0.8% (Analysts’ price target is $371.68)
