Microsoft Corp (MSFT) has become a focal point of discussion among experts, revealing a blend of optimism and concern regarding its future performance. The company has seen a significant increase in cash reserves while continuing aggressive share buybacks, bolstered by a recurring revenue model from its subscription services. Although concerns revolve around its AI initiatives, particularly in relation to the competition and perceived lag in the AI race, the firm's cloud services like Azure have shown impressive growth rates of around 40%. Despite short-term pressure and fluctuations in stock value, many analysts maintain a bullish outlook, suggesting that MSFT's fundamental strengths in productivity, cloud services, and AI integration could lead to substantial long-term benefits. As a dominant player in both software and cloud markets, Microsoft's strategic investments and partnerships position it well for future success, amid a backdrop of evolving market dynamics.

Valuation

AAPL

BUY

Trades at 23x 2020 earnings. They're buying back a lot of shares and raising the yield. MSFT benefits from the shift to the cloud, which helps a lot of companies be more effective given the wealth of data that the cloud holds.

BUY

A money-printing machine. Amazing. It bumped up its dividend by 11% and announced a huge buyback. Recently, it's broken its uptrend, but not to worry. It may be a good time to enter MSFT from now into December.

STRONG BUY

A $40 billion share buyback and 11% dividend increased was announced today! Wow. That dividend will probably grow from here.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Very well-run with a great balance sheet. All three operating segments are showing strong growth, starting with the cloud. It trades at 25x earnings ex-cash, which is rich. So, wait for a pullback at 22x earnings. They return a lot of capital to shareholders.

BUY

It's one of his largest holdings. The cloud has a long runway ahead. It's selling at 25x forward earnings which should continue, though the growth rate will slow by 10-15%. He's happy to own it. His price target is $155.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Wait for a pullback to initiate a position. Don't chase it here.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 12/18, Up 24%) Their cloud growth is up 65%. Management thinks they can double Office365 commercial usage. It continues to be the standard in the software and tech space.

BUY

Take profits? They do everything right. Maybe take a little off the table, but hold onto most of your shares.

BUY

CEO has reinvented company dramatically. One of the best cloud-based companies out there. Cash on balance sheet. Valuation high, but not outrageous.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Could it fail to meet earnings expectations? The software license for a new computer almost equals the cost for the hardware. The stock began to run when they introduced a dividend and then went higher as they moved into the cloud space. If you can buy it at a decent price, it would be a good hold. Not a great level to buy at now.

BUY

There’s nothing he could say except that it’s looking very good. If you bought it here, would hold. The chart is looking healthy. It has a little less volatility than other tech names. A gem.

STRONG BUY

He bought it in 2009, so he's taken some profits this year. But they continue to beat expectations. MSFT is the #2 player in the cloud, which continues to grow. He expects MSFT to close the gap with the #1 player, Amazon. They generate a ton of free cash. He sees 20% upside from here.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 02/18, Up 21%) It is still one of his largest holdings. He still really likes the company. It is hard to find a company with as good a growth outlook. They are the second larger player in the cloud. They have been growing faster because they have the business trust (not to steal your data). Shares have topped out with choppy markets but will go higher when markets move.

PARTIAL BUY

He is trimming in accounts with more than 2%. They are doing a great job. 8 times earnings and double digit growth with strong margins. It is not as cheap as it was and a lot of this is factored into the stock price. It is a reasonable price and can be bought in a new position in a small amount.

COMMENT

Cloud is a different way of looking at computing. It's a secular change, and Microsoft and Amazon are at the forefront. In the cloud, "smart" processes are easier because you can use and analyze data more effectively.
