Microsoft Corp (MSFT) is currently viewed as a resilient player in the technology sector, although it faces challenges primarily related to fears surrounding its AI strategy and competition. Despite concerns about its software business being impacted by AI developments, experts recognize MSFT's strengths in its Azure cloud offerings and productivity software. The company reported strong earnings but has been penalized for ramping up capital expenditures on AI, leading to a mixed outlook among analysts. Many see potential for long-term growth, driven by its diverse offerings and a solid financial position, while some express cautiousness over its current valuation and market sentiment. Overall, MSFT is considered a core holding by several analysts, with recommendations to buy on dips, citing its ability to innovate and adapt strategically to ongoing market changes.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He owns MSFT. The valuation is trading at 33 times forward earnings, so he is not adding to his holdings here. He thinks it is trading about 20% higher than his buy price. He would wait for a pullback to buy. A great business overall. The current market trends currently favour these types of companies and he would continue to hold it if you already own it -- let your winners run (especially in this space).

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Warren Buffet has 43% of his portfolio in APPL. APPL is a wonderful brand and strong company. He does not own it today. What worries him a little is that more than half of their revenues come from iPhone sales. They are diversifying, but it will take time. People are tending to keep their phones a year or two longer today it seems. The valuation has made it quite expensive. He would wait for a pullback or consider V, GOOG or MSFT. Warren Buffet must have some amazing incite to take on that concentration in the portfolio.

HOLD

Tech stocks have done very well this year. Many are seeing revenue and earnings outlooks looking down, but MSFT-Q is the exception. It is a stock you want to own for stability and durability; however he would leave it as a hold at this point.

STRONG BUY

One of his top tech names and he really likes it. Excellent management and execution. The cloud space is exploding because of the work from home new normal. MSFT owns Linkedin and Skype, all low-contact tech that's thriving now. MSFT boasts steady revenues going forward. Trades at a slightly higher PE, but you're paying for growth and steady revenues.

BUY

It is one of the mega cap tech stocks that are back to their all time highs. It is not that expensive and hits all metrics for him. It has a great balance sheet.

TOP PICK

One of the two biggest cloud companies (with Amazon). They have a huge base for Office software. They will continue to develop their Teams conference technology for work conferencing. They also have a videogaming and live sports business now in relation to virtual and augmented reality. They struck a deal with the NBA, which will be interesting to see in coming years. They're moving into communications and entertainment. Well-run and innovative, a must-own stock for the future. (Analysts’ price target is $198.19)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 14/19, Up 48%) They continue to hold this. They have benefited from the work-at-home trend. This trend may continue after COVID. Office 365 and their cloud services will all benefit. However, at this point it is too expensive to buy. They hold about $9 per share in net cash. She would buy about 10-15% lower.

TOP PICK

They are in a sweet spot. The movement to the cloud is very important and will continue more aggressively. It is going to intensify. They have a 'teams' product for collaboration. (Analysts’ price target is $197.74)

PARTIAL SELL

10% of holdings now -- take profit? They have owned it over 8 years. A top 5 holding for him. In his portfolio, he wants to bring the weight of stocks down to reduce risk. He suggests picking away at stocks have been unduly punished and shave down some of the MSFT holding. Don't lose the entire position, instead use it to purchase punished deep cyclical stocks.

TOP PICK

Firing on all cylinders. He bought this at $115. They're deploying capital from their stable Windows business into the cloud. You can buy this and forget it. Predictable. Stable. (Analysts’ price target is $197.42)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A wonderful business. When the market turmoil unfolded, technology companies have done well. Their upcoming earnings should be strong. He owns this, but be mindful of the valuation here. It is trading at 26 times earnings. It is about 15% over valued here. He would enter on weakness.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He does not own them currently. The shares are very expensive. Now, investors are thinking post virus and with their offerings in cloud based services it is looking more like an essential services company. He chooses not to own it at such a high mid-20 PE.

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.
