BUY

It’s a buy and hold long term stock. It’s not cheap, trading at 25x but there is solid execution and growing operations. They will benefit from the long term trend. The quality of the business merits the price.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He owns this one. It is probably a little over bought here. He would look to buy again on weakness.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

You might want to wait for a cooling of the market in order to buy it. He has owned it for a long time. They are in the right businesses. You are getting many years of double digit growth. The earnings growth will make it look cheap.

BUY

$141 was a great level to break out on. It was just a little pause for a while. It is very consistent. There was some rotation going on but this one did not sell off. He thinks it will continue higher.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 13/18, Up 40%) Incredible that they're growing their revenue double-digit considering their size. They're growing their cloud service, Azure, well and will continue to do so. MSFT is catching up to Amazon in the cloud. MSFT just won a big US government contract, US$10 billion over 10 years, which was expected to go to Amazon. MSFT has a lot of cash, which she likes, at $7/share, so they can fund their own growth without going into debt markets.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 13/19, Up 37%) He still likes it. Businesses will continue to move to the cloud which adds a lot of value to those companies.

TOP PICK

Synthetic long Microsoft Buy January (2021) 145 call at $14.50, sell Jan (2021) 145 put at -$15.40, net $0.90/share. MSFT is a great company shooting on all cylinders. It has a great shot scoring the US government contract for cloud services (Trump doesn't like competitor Amazon/Bezos).

COMMENT

Microsoft continues to benefit from moving to the cloud. Servers, Azur, and software continues to perform. Xbox momentum continues. It's very expensive and he wouldn't buy right now. He would prefer FAANGs that have higher growth.

BUY

It's done so well that some investors may take some profits now. He likes it. If you're buying this for 5-10 years for, say an RRSP, this is fine to buy now. Good fundamentals. They continue to reinvent themselves. As long as leadership remains the same, he thinks they can.

HOLD

Sell 25% and buy Comcast, Cisco or hold the cash? MSFT has done very well in the last 5 years under the current CEO. They just won the US Defence contract, possibly influenced by Trump. MSFT is one of the most valuable companies in the world. However, if there is a wide market sell-off, MSFT will fall in a big way. That's why he doesn't hold it. MSFT is not a bad company. If you own this, let your winners run.

BUY

Likes it. Very strong earnings this morning. Cloud business strong. Long-term looks good. Subscription based model will help quite a bit. Trading at 26x earnings. 10% long-term growth rate. Not exactly cheap, but you are in the tech space. Yield is 1.5%. (Analysts’ price target is $150.17)

BUY

He just trimmed his holdings. One has to look at the quality of what one is buying. This is a quality company. They are driven by the cloud business. He looks forward and sees so much cash being generated that it deserves to get a premium. They are a massive cash machine. They keep buying back stock and sit in an immaculate financial shape. It's not cheap, however.

BUY

AMZN-Q vs. MSFT-Q. He owns MSFT-Q so does not prefer AMZN-Q. AMZN-Q he is looking at. They have so many opportunities such as healthcare. They are building their revenues at the 15-20% range.

BUY

Will the end of Windows 7 and adoption of Windows 10 boost revenues? The CEO is outstanding and MSFT is well-positioned going forward. This could be volatile though. Good news is priced in. Doesn't know if the adoption of Windows 10 (to replace Windows 7) in January will boost revenues.

COMMENT

He's owned this for a long time, one of his biggest holdings. $173 is his target price and currently trades above his model price of $113.64. Has given him great rate of return.
