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.

Buy

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

AAPL, AAPL

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 1/09. Up 4%.) Increasing dividends and buying back shares. Windows 7 is a great product. Have a bunch of new products coming out. Looking for a nice upgrade cycle in the next year.

TOP PICK

Generates $20 billion in free cash flow this year and $23 billion next year. Trading at a very low multiple. Returning the free cash flow in the form of share buybacks and dividend increases.

DON'T BUY

Has morphed from being a terrific growth company to being a staid company having a little bit of trouble getting out of its way, little bit of trouble innovating and is being priced for that.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 1/09. Up 1%.) Had very strong numbers and Windows 7 is a very good product but the stock does not go up. There should be some change at the top before the stock moves up

DON'T BUY

This could possibly be a value trap because the weaker it gets, the more valuable it gets. Until they start innovating or giving money to their shareholders, they would avoid it.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 12/09. Up 11.87%.) Still likes.

TOP PICK

Released Windows 7 with rave reviews. 75% of US businesses are still using XP. It’s time for an upgrade. Launching a new cell phone later in the year. Into Cloud computing. The x-Box. He is looking for the stock to do well and you get a dividend, which is rear in a tech company.

DON'T BUY

Getting attacked from different directions. Picking up revenues from Windows 7 and the new Office product. If the economy turns, the stock will do better. Better growth opportunities elsewhere.

COMMENT

Earnings will be fairly strong because of their Windows 7 and office 2010 product refresh. He is concerned with their long-term sustainability of growth. Even though earnings have doubled over a decade, stock price has stayed flat. Would treat it more as a trade. There is a ton of opportunity for growth in other stocks in the technology space. (See Top Picks.)

COMMENT

Off almost 20% this year so has been disappointing. Google (GOOG-Q) and Apple (AAPL-Q) have been eating their pie in the cloud. Windows 7 is doing very well and there is a major refresh in the PC world and are still 90% of the market. Should push more into the consumer side and into the emerging markets side. Probably a safe time to get in.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 28/09. Up 25%.) Great opportunity for their enterprise side to do quite well. Windows 7 is doing very well and they're coming out with a new office product.

TOP PICK

Really a poster child with their balance sheet, free cash flow and free cash flow growth. Have various new product introductions, cost cutting initiatives. 5% a year share buyback. 2% dividend. Starting to issue debt at extremely cheap levels so have access to cheap capital.

DON'T BUY

More of a mature technology name. Trading at about 13X forward earnings. Long-term market growth forecast is growing at about 11.5%. Could benefit from Windows 7 upgrades. Corporate PC cycle will be a catalyst. Office 2010 is being adopted more heavily. There are other names with more growth in the tech space.

BUY

Prefers others such as Apple (AAPL-Q), Oracle (ORCL-Q) and Cisco (CSCO-Q) but at this price, it is an interesting value. Windows 7 has been widely adopted and Office 2010 has done quite well and we are in a refresh cycle. Good short-term hold.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick May 4/10, Down 10.85%) Sold a covered call option. The call cushioned 3% points, so loss is only 7%.
