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
HOLD
Similar to a utility in that it grows low single-digits. Has a decent dividend. Gushing cash like you wouldn't believe. When Vista finally gets out there, there should be some growth.
DON'T BUY
A mature company with a lot of cash, but doesn't see it doing anything spectacular in terms of market performance or earnings growth.
DON'T BUY
Not quite certain where they are going to go next. Not a growth company.
BUY
An interesting story right now. Coming out with many new products next year. Good opportunity for the stock to do well. Good price.
BUY
Doing a share buyback. Likes the company at these levels. Has pulled back a fair bit but they have a lot of new products coming out in the New Year. Relatively cheap at these multiples. Nice dividend.
WEAK BUY
Growth possibilities is limited, but it does have a monopoly position. Difficult to assess. Currently in a buyback position which will help support the shares.
DON'T BUY
Doing buybacks. If they keep doing this, that would help keep the stock price up, but would rather that they paid the money out. If this is the best they can do, he would get out as this would continually reduce the book value.
DON'T BUY
If you're looking for a US investment, he would look somewhere else besides technology. Prefers Canadian companies.
DON'T BUY
Not a growth company.
BUY
Buying at these levels as the company is worth a lot more if you break apart into its own pieces. Its growth rate is equal to its P/E.
BUY
They are trying to balance the things they believe about the business. Have been buying back stock very rapidly and the share count is down by 5%. The PC business is a fairly mature franchise. They are making investments in new markets in order to grow.
BUY
Likes the valuation and the cash generation. Don't think they will ever dominate on the operating systems again. Limited growth because of their size. Good ability to generate cash. Gives cash back to the shareholders.
DON'T BUY
At a point in the business were if there is going to be a pickup in their growth rate, you should start to see it because of their new Vista product. Despite the fact that we've had a pretty good market for three years, the stock has not made an iota of gain. If you can't make it in a strong market, you tend to under perform in a weak market.
DON'T BUY
Regular dividend yield is about 1.5%. A great company with a great long-term track record. Trading at 19 X earnings for only 7% growth.
BUY
Has gotten beaten up with the delay of Vista, its next operating system. In the wireless area, with its operating system, don't underestimate them. He is buying more at this price.
