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

Not one of the high growth stories but is a valuation and cash generation story. A 10 multiple is exceptionally cheap. Windows 8 has clearly been a success. Move into the phone market with Nokia has not been as successful.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 21/11. Up 100%.) Wrote and April Put at $25. This expired worthless as the stock went up.

BUY

Good company. Very attractive valuation. Still has some earnings growth. For him, this would be a distant 3^rd choice in the technology area behind Apple (AAPL-Q) and Google (GOOG-Q).

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jun 8.11, Up 25.67%) Enterprise software. You can’t run multiple screens off an iPad. His techies have played with windows 8 and say wait for a home computer.

COMMENT

Have tripled their earnings over 10 years but their multiple has been cut by two thirds. Net result is that the stock is basically in the same place that it was 10 years ago. Windows 8 is the thing that is getting him intrigued.

COMMENT

Good company and probably a good valuation here. Windows 8 has proven to be a good advancement for them. Also making headway in the cell phone area. Not the growth profile of some of his favourite tech companies.

BUY

Owns very little. Stock has come to the point where you could add to your holdings. Risk on the downside is that you are going to beat the T-bills. (?) They have a bunch of new products coming forward. Put a Stop under your holdings. Looks okay.

TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jul 4/11, Up 19.11%) Incredibly cheap but has been so forever. What is interesting about it is that Windows 8 is coming out and there has not been a huge cycle upgrade for computers in the last 3 or 4 years. Thinks the surface tablet will do more than investors think. The iPad is an entertainment device. The Surface has a keyboard. It is productive. It is a notebook that is down to a notebook size. They have so much cash and the possibility of increasing dividends, although it is not a dividend play. Expects 15-22% increase including dividends.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 21/11. Up 100%.) Sold a $25 April Put, which expired in April. Picked up $1.25.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 23/11. Up 24.79%.) Coming out with a great product line, which is helping them. Windows 8 will be a good product. Not expensive.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jun 9/11, Up 25.82%)

COMMENT

Lately there is a lot of hope for Windows 8. Xbox is doing well for them. Getting back into the smart phone business with Windows software is very early days. He is warm towards the stock here.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 9/11. Up 27.43%.) Model price is $41, an upside of 37%. Has a 2.7% dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 23/11. Up 31.15%.) People were undervaluing the company and its core businesses. Some of their core businesses are coming up with new products that will really drive their earnings quite substantially, especially Windows 8. Has a great yield and great balance sheet with reasonable to good growth. Can see this closer to $40

DON'T BUY

This company is fine, but if you are looking for growth wait to see the Top Picks. Has about 1.5% yield. Trading at a very reasonable multiple at 10-11 times earnings. There just isn't the growth that you would see in some other tech stocks.
