Microsoft Corp (MSFT) continues to garner mixed reviews from analysts as it navigates challenges within the AI landscape and its software business. While the stock has faced notable volatility, including a recent dip tied to concerns over its increased capital expenditures for AI and underwhelming Azure growth, many experts still highlight its strong balance sheet, solid cash flow, and growth potential in various sectors such as cloud and productivity software. The company's ongoing integration of AI technologies into its offerings, including the Co-Pilot feature, is viewed as a long-term growth driver, despite initial setbacks. There is a strong consensus that MSFT remains a fundamentally sound investment, attributed to its diverse revenue streams and robust market positioning. Analysts suggest that the current stock price may offer a compelling entry point, especially given its historical context and growth trajectory, making it an attractive hold for long-term investors.

AAPL, AAPL

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 1/10. Up 2.97%.) Cheap stock and is still growing but is hard to navigate through the changes that are going on with moves from PCs to tablets but still generate a ton of cash and have high growth margins.

WEAK BUY

Is his biggest holding. Has not added recently. Sees some drivers from product introduction. Strong net cash position.

COMMENT

Very cheap at 11X earnings with a decent dividend. You could Buy and not be hurt by it but he prefers others in the technology area. No major catalyst. He would Sell and move into Apple (AAPL-Q).

BUY

It’s a cheap stock. A safe company in terms of volatility. They have lagged in so many areas.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jan 26/09, Down 3.11) So big that you never get unambiguously good or bad results – one area will do well while another has trouble. Continues to grow at a good clip. No reason it could not double in next 2-3 years.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 18/10. Down 6.66%.) Limited downside and huge potential upside. Good Risk/Reward at these levels. Windows 7 and Office are doing incredibly well. Lots of great products that will help them grow. 2% dividend.

BUY

Starting to trend higher. Historically tech does very well from October to around the 2nd week of January each year and peaks when the Las Vegas electronics show is on so you want to take profits at that time.

BUY

Really likes it. They just did a dividend boost. There is going to be a huge turnover to Windows 7. They are like a utility company now. 10x earnings and beautiful balance sheet.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 10/09. Down 13%.) Still likes. Worth somewhere between $35 and $40. Have a lot of new products. An underdog in this environment.

BUY

Sees Microsoft raising its dividend on a regular basis. He is considering buying it. Windows 7 was a success and they have it for the phones. It has growth ahead of it.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Nov 3/09, Down 7%) still likes it and owns it. Good earnings and growth numbers. They have had some good products coming out.

DON'T BUY

Granddaddy of technologies. Poster boy of the growth cycle. Unfortunately the valuation has fallen because Microsoft’s prospects have also fallen. It’s hard to grow at the rate you would like it to grow.

BUY

He just started buying in August. He feels it is very inexpensive. He sees it as a utility, rather than a growth story. Dividend will go up because they have said so. Likes their prospects in the smart phone area and Windows 7 will be a winning product.

TOP PICK

Reasonably valued and an attractive dividend, which will keep growing. Strong Cdn$ can be used to advantage. Although they have a lot of cash, they recently acquired some debt at very attractive rates.

TOP PICK

No longer a technology company but a utility. Dominant operating system that everybody needs, whether they want it or not. Windows 7 was a big increase in performance. Just increased dividend to 2.6%. Trades at 8X forward earnings. (includes cash on the balance sheet.)
