TOP PICK

Microsoft enables digital transformation for the era of an intelligent cloud and an intelligent edge. Its mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. Social media mentions are up 110% in the past 24h.

HOLD

It's been consistently good and has long held it. Buy it now? He isn't sure, but he does feel it is a darn good company.

TOP PICK

Migrated into a new economy stock. Well managed. In the right area, where the action is. On sale, put it in your portfolio, relax, should do very well next cycle. Hard to be replaced when you're the dominant player. Yield is 1.01%. (Analysts’ price target is $332.43)

DON'T BUY

Buy tech? The software companies boasts large recurring revenues, which makes them attractive. Also, there's a big shift to the cloud which will continue even during a soft economy. So, many large-cap software stocks like MSFT are relatively expensive. However, the semis look cheaper, like Nvidia which is down more than 50% YTD and not cheap, but historically yes. They are innovative. A buy.

BUY

You can't run a bank or any business without the tools MSFT offers. Tech should always be the anchor of a portfolio. Who cares if the Fed raises rates? You can't run an economy without tech.

COMMENT

During choppy economic times, he prefers a MSFT or GOOG, essential tech names with stronger profitability and cashflows. Companies with strong fundamentals have lots of options in a recession. Look for a tech name that's durable longer term.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Strategy by tech analyst Carolyn Boroden It's in a bullish pattern now, up 15 %in the past month. MSFT is approaching resistance of $300, but the stock has built a nice floor beneath it. If it clears $310, this chould hit $379, her target. She likes this, but prefers buyuing on weakness.

COMMENT

She owns it, but is underweight. She likes the company, but it is hitting the upper bound of valuation--too high. But if more money flows into the S&P, then the company is a pretty big piece of that index and move up even as its valuation rises too.

TOP PICK

The company's revenue rose 12% in Q4 (16% if not for the currency swing). There was growth in their all-important cloud business by 25%. Compare this to 5% growth in PC's, post-pandemic. Cash flows remain strong while the profit margin is holding at a near-record 20% of sales. Also, Activision Blizzard, which MSFT will absorb, just reported a mixed earnings beat and those shares have inched up. That said, it's clear that videogaming and remote work are retreating to pre-Covid levels.

BUY

It reported last night and initially shares sold hard right after the company released earnings. But the company knows what its doing. Sure enough, today shares roared back and rallied today. Whoever sold them in the pullback justifiably feels like an idiot. MSFT's CFO said last night that the forecast is actually better than what analysts first thought. The headlines almost never tell you the whole story. Instead, wait for the CEO and CFO to do the conference call.

HOLD

Great business. Multiple has contracted to 24x, small yield of 1%. Key is the cloud, which continues to grow. Great balance sheet. ATVI deal would be additive. Room to grow. When it reports, look at cloud direction and ATVI deal.

BUY

They report tomorrow after the bell. He suspects that Azure, their key cloud business, is doing very well. Shrewdly, the CEO warned of a hit from the strong USD. He wouldn't be surprised if they announce negative things about PC sales or Europe, but these shares are down 90 points from its high.

(A Top Pick Apr 16/20, Up 49%) Excellent business that is very well managed. Product offering is very strong with ability to bundle services. Very strong balance sheet and modest dividend that has ability to grow. Cloud business growing. Great company that has a bright future. Recent market selloff presenting good buying opportunity.
