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

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
They are enabling the digital world and all their business segments are firing on all cylinders. Things will only get better as companies move more to cloud based, at-home setups. Linked In is also successful. A long runway of growth. Yield 1.41% (Analysts’ price target is $189.50)
TOP PICK
They will benefit from what is going on right now. Their shift to cloud based computing should be accelerated by the crisis. (Analysts’ price target is $189.50)
PARTIAL BUY
He added more on the downturn. Technology will be a winner in this because of the increased use of technology. This is a name to stick with through this. It is already recovering fairly well.

TOP PICK
On the flipside, tech continues to endure. The FANGs plus Microsoft remain go-to names. As David Fingold noted, MSFT has been tested through fire and have passed the test during this pandemic.
STRONG BUY

A great company, a top cloud player. But a company needs advanced IT department to use Amazon's cloud service, whereas MSFT can support small/medium-sized software developers can sell them over MSFT's cloud. MSFT has been tested through fire and have passed the test during this pandemic, proving that their cloud services continue to work during massive use as people continue to work from home. MSFT has the right stuff.

COMMENT

GOOG vs MSFT? The challenge with GOOG is that 40-50% ad spend comes from small businesses. He expects small business will be struggling for revenue for the next few months. He would not be a buyer of GOOG. He does not own MSFT, but would prefer them over GOOG. MSFT has a very successful cloud service and he sees Teams being a good add to their revenue right now.

BUY
Buy at $159? His #3 holding. You don't have to worry about this stock. Have great cash flow generation, strong balance and smart management. The explosion of cloud use has because an annuity for them. You can buy this now.
TOP PICK
It is a utility company. Every business has to pay Microsoft: Desktops and cloud computing. You can't stop using Microsoft.
COMMENT
It rose to 10x book value, held for a while, and eventually broke out in 2019 to enjoy a very nice run. During this setback, it's returned below 10x book. The stock is in no man's land. $156 is key resistance. $122 is another. At the current $135, it's in no man's land.
WATCH
He missed it on the way up but will get a chance on the way down. It held up better than he would have thought recently. It is not going away and is going to continue to innovate.
TOP PICK
Tons of free cash flow. Free cash flow growth. Being on the cloud makes working away from the office a lot simpler. The virus has made people understand that the cloud makes everything simpler. Will continue to grow in next little while. Yield is 1.47%. (Analysts’ price target is $196.34)
PARTIAL BUY

AAPL vs MSFT? Both companies are sitting on gobs of cash, he says. MSFT sells more into business, under a subscription basis. AAPL is a little more chunky, as they are into devices and streaming services -- which is a little slow to get going. AAPL may be impacted more by the delay in selling their devices, but you still have to pay for your MSFT subscription. He would put 75% of your MSFT in now and only 50% of your AAPL investment now.

TOP PICK

He loves this stock for the next 10 years and now is a good time to buy. Their cloud computing will thrive as streaming increases. Their Office software and others allows for people to work from home during this uncertain times. You could easily buy 75% of your position at this level. Yield 1.32% (Analysts’ price target is $196.34)

DON'T BUY

MSFT vs. IBM Likes MSFT, but it's too expensive for its growth rate. IBM is interesting. Has momentum, growing in the cloud. RedHat's revenue accelerating. Incredibly cheap. Good dividend and pretty safe. Only thing is, it's not best in breed, which is where the money will go first. But it's a fine name.

DON'T BUY
Likes it a lot, but last year MSFT got too expensive. Cloud is driving their multiple expansion. MSFT has held in very well in this market. Balance sheet fine and boasts a high ROE. The valuation remains too high for him though. It needs to pull back further for him.
