Microsoft Corp (MSFT) continues to be viewed with a degree of skepticism and optimism by market experts. While there are concerns about its position in the AI race and its reliance on OpenAI, analysts are largely positive about Microsoft's overall performance in the cloud arena, particularly with Azure's growth expected to exceed 40%. The company's recent earnings showed a strong performance, despite a sell-off initiated by higher capex spending. Numerous analysts believe that Microsoft's recent decline presents an opportunity to buy at attractive valuation levels, as it trades at a PE ratio that is competitive with the broader market. Many experts encourage taking advantage of any dips for long-term investment, highlighting MSFT's strong cash flow and dividend growth, which underpin its resilience despite the broader challenges faced by the software sector.

G00G

BUY

Stock is down because they made a bid to acquire Yahoo (YHOO-Q). He believes the down side is close to $25 and low $40's on the upside. On a risk/reward, the upside is greater than the down side.

DON'T BUY

Once we move through this bear market, technology is often a leader coming out. There are a lot of great technology companies, but he is not sure this one would be at the top of his list. Growth rates have dropped. Acquisition of Yahoo (YHOO-Q) would be very risky.

TOP PICK

Has come off with all of the tech but also came off after they announced plans to acquire Yahoo (YHOO-Q). When they have not been the leader, they are prepared to pay money to get in to be a significant player. With this purchase, they are taking out the competition and will be a significant player in the search and online advertising business. Good solid earnings grower.

BUY

For a self-directed RRSP, this is the kind of a stock to have. The company is focused on returning more money to the shareholder. Their Xbox is doing well although it's a very competitive market and may not do as well a year from now. Good long-term play on the increasing use of technology on a global basis.

BUY

Reported earnings better than expected. Will do well in the upgrade cycle. The Xbox business is going to do well for them. Has a great office product. Not trading at a huge multiple. Great balance sheet. Lots of cash.

COMMENT

Been doing fairly well for quite a long time and yet stock hasn't. Been in a trading range. Valuations were growing at about 10%-12% but multiples were too high. Takes a long time for multiples to come back to reality but thinks they have now done so. If he had to choose amongst technology, he has a world of choice and this one probably would not be his top one.

BUY

Their office suites and Vista continue to do well and dominate the market. Have grown more than 15% in the most recent quarter and the stock does not reflect that. Dividend is growing.

BUY

This is a cash flow machine. Indications are that the dividend is going to keep on increasing and they are dedicated to get that money back to the shareholders. Because of concerns about the Cdn$ and US stocks in general and the effect of a possible recession, he sold his holdings. Thinks the current price is attractive.

TOP PICK

Had a big improvement in their earnings and sales growth in the last 3 quarters. There has been some very heavy buying come into the stock allowing the stock to clear a 7-year range. The stock is hanging in nicely. As long as it stays above $32 it has a very good chance of becoming a big leader in the next rally.

TOP PICK

Has had a nice jump in earnings growth in the last 3 quarters. Holding its ground close to its high in the $33-$34 range. Good fundamentals going with it.

BUY

He likes the stock. It has been flat for a while. There is some concern that technology is moving away from Microsoft. However, Halo 3 and Office Suite have done well. The company has done well, they are well positioned good cash, good evaluation and aggressive with awarding shareholders.

WAIT

Fair market value for the stock is probably around $35. Has over $30 billion in cash that can be distributed. Expect there will be a little bit more downdraft in the short term.

BUY

With the high Cdn$, this is a good time to make an entry. Chart looks like it is just beginning to break out to new highs. In Cdn$ terms you are buying it at a huge discount.

BUY

Thinks conservatively it can get to $35. Forecasting 15% earnings growth. Growing dividends and buying back stock.

DON'T BUY

Had a huge run. Just launched its new Vista software. Have a lot of cash and keep buying back shares. Can't see a lot of upside in this one.
