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.

AAPL

HOLD

He really likes MSFT-Q as it sits in the software space in tech. It has good cash flow, is defensible and immune to tariff wars. The darling in the space. Trading in mid-20 PE ratio, but along with a similar growth rate in revenues. He likes the cloud opportunities and subscription services. Just mind the cycle in the market right now. Have a stop to protect yourself.

HOLD

A great company and one of his largest holdings. He love the subscription business. The cloud business is just another natural for them. Over 50% of their sales come internationally. It trades at 30 times earnings and has grown the dividend by 10% yearly. You have to own this. Yield 1.5%

BUY

MSFT vs. Amazon No, they don't compete with each other. Amazon is the best cloud host, but not for small/medium-sized businesses. Instead, MSFT fills this gap very well, at they collect recurring revenue doing this, like a utility. This stabilizes their margins and increases MSFT's growth.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

An unbelievable 10-15 year turnaround. A wonderful business. His buy price is $125. Keep your eye on it. Firing on all cylinders. Cloud infrastructure growing like crazy, as is the legacy Microsoft suite. Business model has evolved well to subscriptions. Reasonable multiple, phenomenal company. Wait for a pullback.

DON'T BUY

Beat on bottom and top lines. Cloud business is 1/3 of the company. Growth being driven by migration to the cloud. Not a good entry point, valuation's too high for its growth rate. More compelling are Amazon, Google, Alibaba.

HOLD

The company has done well growing revenues, cash flow and earnings. They have also reinvigorated their investor base -- meaning a higher PE ratio is the new norm. They have reinvented themselves and are very active in subscription revenues, the cloud and gaming. He does not own it at this time.

BUY

They're into themes--cloud, software, gaming, social media (LinkedIn)--with strong tailwinds. He likes MSFT. Valuations have risen a bit (Google and Facebook have pulled back). MSFT's growth isn't as attractive as those two, but investors love their runway of growth.

STRONG BUY

Loves it. MSFT is still misunderstood: MSFT is actually part utility, because you must pay MSFT once a year to use their services, just like you would pay a utility regularly. Guarantee income. Also, the cloud business still has enormous room to grow.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Possible summer pullback? Absolutely, you may be able to buy it back cheaper this summer -- around $120. If you plan to take profit, don't sell all of it -- only a portion. It gives you some flexibility. This stock has to be a core holding in any tech portfolio. It is so consistent.

BUY

For a TFSA And Google. Both have good room to grow. MSFT has defensive, stable earnings growth with lots of diversification in many markets. Buy either or both for the long-term.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 08/18, Up 25%) Software service with a recurring membership fee is doing great. They are seeing 20% growth in revenues and he expects that to continue. Software is not in the cross hairs like semi-conductors and other computer equipment.

BUY

Their cloud offering is really a force to be reckoned with. A name he missed.

COMMENT

China-US trade war is having an effect on entire tech sector. It's a bit more immune to it, but he wouldn't be stepping in front of this train. Perhaps a bit more defensive as a tech in terms of its scope.

BUY

It is big and liquid and has a solid balance sheet. They have an improving margin profile. The 365 initiative involves paying monthly or annually instead of upgrading whenever they remove support for old versions. They are a major cloud computing enabler. This gives them lots of recurring revenue at high margins. To some extent they are turning the company into a utility.

TOP PICK

Sleep at night, buy the company. Expensive but they are growing in their cloud business. Earnings growth is accelerating. they have a 30 multiple into next year. (Analysts’ price target is $144.00)
