This summary was created by AI, based on 132 opinions in the last 12 months.

Experts have mixed opinions on Microsoft's current position, particularly in relation to its AI initiatives and overall valuation. While some analysts express concerns over the performance of its Co-Pilot AI and the potential risks from competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic, others highlight the company's strong financial position, significant free cash flow, and robust revenue growth, particularly from its cloud segment, Azure. Many agree that the stock has become attractive at current price levels, with valuations ranging from fair to undervalued due to its solid business fundamentals, ongoing investments in AI and cloud infrastructure, and potential for future growth. Amidst the uncertainties in the tech sector, they believe Microsoft remains well-positioned to adapt and thrive, even as it navigates the challenges posed by the evolving AI landscape.

BUY

Likes Microsoft and has owned it for a long time. Lots of growth opportunity in cloud business. Growth in office & gaming business. Look for opportunity to buy if/when market falls. Data available in cloud allows Microsoft to help clients.

PARTIAL SELL

The long-term chart shows a phenomenal run. A while ago, it was dead money for 10 years, then moved into cloud computing, which gave it a huge step up. Question: Will the cloud space see more competition? Tech has seen a big profit, so he'd take profits to de-risk. At least sell your cost base.

BUY

Why is it dropping? There is nothing specific to the company that may be causing it to pause. They have been adding to their holdings lately. Being an initial COVID beneficiary, it may just be pausing. She likes how they have pivoted to the cloud platform. The next move will be based on further automation investments. She continues to like it at these levels.

BUY

Don't fear a shutdown, but a slowdown due to the new Omicron variant. Their products sold well at the start of the lockdown and continued through the pandemic and reopening then Delta. Software upgrades like a future Windows 15 will be a tailwind. Their cloud business has tremendous growth, while their Microsoft Teams pops up automatically and so is used a lot.

DON'T BUY

They've been around for years, but completely different from IBM. Doing a great job. The valuation is excessive, and it can last for a long time, but you have to stick to your disciplines. Loves the company, but not the stock.

BUY

Even though its PE isn't cheap, look at MSFT. It's a real grower with a phenomenal franchise, and almost impossible to unseat at the present time in its core business.

HOLD

Not cheap, but such a cash machine and it's growing at double digits, which is remarkable for a company that size.

COMMENT

Beat revenue growth with revenue growth up 22%. A marquee name but it is really pricey at 32x PE with a 13% growth rate. There are more compelling names in tech land. You have to own this name and they are always expensive. However, Amazon has a more compelling price right now.

BUY

Yesterday, it delivered the best quarter of any company in 2021. LinkedIn is the default way for professionals to find jobs, especially during Covid. Azure, their cloud business, is only behind Amazon's; it just boasted $20 billion of business in Azure. Also have $130 billion in cash. This stock is worth every penny. Someone asked why he doesn't sell any MSFT. He answers: Why should he?

TOP PICK

The company should continue to do well even with supply chain shortages. They deliver services over the internet contrary to Apple and their hardware side of the business. The cloud business has given them a second wind. Social media mentions are up 74% over the last 24 hours.

BUY

Google and MSFT don't deliver products in a box, but deliver software or services over the internet, so both stocks will do well (in light of supply chain shortages). In contrast, Apple must deliver hard products, like phones and watches, but are suffering supply bottlenecks. The latter will likely guide cautiously this earnings season which may hurt these stocks. Financials, energy and materials he loves, though he can't see oil sustaining above $100/barrel, which will raise prices for products in the overall economy and that can't last.

BUY

This will return above $300. His pick of the day.

COMMENT

Likes Apple. Apple is slightly less expensive on valuation than Microsoft. Their franchise is second to none. They came out with the iPhone 13, which was not particularly flashy, but the expected sales is positive. There are aging iPhones and the replacement cycle will be enormous. They have a good formula for success. Multiple has moved up in part to the recognition of the formula's ability to repeat itself.

DON'T BUY

Moving into the cloud has given it a second wind. Question is are you paying for future earnings or for investors cashing in? It will slide down. Great company but the chart is scary. Opportunities are not as great as they were. Look at other investments that haven't run as much.

HOLD

Gaining cloud market share at a rapid pace. Once a company transitions to the cloud, that contract is quite sticky, lasting for a number of years. Quite positive on their cloud business. (Analysts’ price target is $322.00)
