This summary was created by AI, based on 128 opinions in the last 12 months.

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.

AAPL

TOP PICK

Really cheap at 11X earnings. Great yield. Fantastic balance sheet. $30 billion in cash and tons of free cash flow. Windows7 is coming out and has great positive response and thinks there will be a good upgrade cycle on this. There's also a new Microsoft Office coming out in 2010.

TOP PICK

Despite being the largest software company globally it is still growing at an impressive clip. Pristine balance sheet with $30 billion in cash. Generates $350 million cash a week. Has a very attractive suite of new offerings coming up in the next 12 months.

BUY

Has been languishing for quite some time. Have 2 things that are possibly trigger points for the stock to move forward. 1) Their Xbox franchise is getting to a point where it is just about to break even. 2) There is a new operating system coming out in October (Windows 7) that will replace the Vista. It has gotten very positive reviews.

COMMENT

Not a big fan of this. Growth is not there. Thinks it could run to the mid-$20’s and you should get out of it at that time. Use a stoploss of $20.

TOP PICK

Probably trading at its lowest PE since it became public. Trading at about 10X earnings. Very low expectations for earnings growth over the next little while. Windows 7 will be coming out and that is positive. Almost 3% yield.

TOP PICK

One of the only companies with an AAA rating in the US. Just raised a reasonably significant amount of cash at incredibly cheap rates so their balance sheet is in excellent shape. Have a number of new product releases coming out over the next 12 to 18 months.

BUY

Just offered a $4 billion 30-year debt offering at 1% above treasuries. This will allow them to buy back their stock or make accretive acquisitions.

TOP PICK

Has been finding greater value in some of the larger cap, more stable names. Very stable recurring revenue base. Significant international growth opportunities. Trades at about 11X earnings and has $18 billion net cash on its balance sheet.

HOLD

Has been a laggard in the tech sector. Sales growth is not up to what it could be. Has been losing market share to the Apple operating system. There is a potential to become better with their prospective new operating system. 2.6% yield.

SELL

With their operating system, they are being left behind. They will continue to do well on the cash they are spinning off but the growth days are behind them.

BUY

Market Call Minute. Like a utility but recurring revenue from existing suit of products. Expect dividend to rise.

COMMENT

More like a utility than a growth stock. Will do okay if the market goes higher. Software group is strong and it's one he likes but you can be really choosy at this point. He prefers BMC Software (BMC-N) and Sybase (SY-N). (Sybase grew its revenue by 28% last quarter and have very strong growth.)

BUY

50% profit margins and selling for 10X PE. 3% dividend. The utility on the operating systems for PCs. Rock solid balance sheet. Will be a survivor. Will be a very good earner for you going forward.

BUY

Tech stocks have held up fairly well and he thinks their prospects are pretty good. The one thing that will help them in their fight against Apple (AAPL-Q) is their new operating system that will replace Vista and put them back on the map. Xbox still has a dominant place in the industry and is still growing,

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Cheap. Subject to the market outlook. Still facing a lot of challenges with free software.
