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.

TOP PICK

Has been in a flat line for 5 years. As a result of being in a flat line and continuing to grow earnings, it is now quite reasonably priced at 18/19 X earnings. Also it’s releasing a slew of new products. Has started returning money to the shareholders and there is a possibility of a higher sustained dividend or a special one.

BUY

Have over $40 billion in cash. If they buy back about $20 billion a year, they are generating over $4 billion a quarter in cash; it's a very profitable company. You'll get an 8/10% performance on it.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 3/05. Up 3%.) This was to Buy a $27.50 October Call Option.

WEAK BUY

Like some of the big technology companies, recovering from a growth dilemma. Well positioned, generating a lot of cash, great margins but no growth. You need to see some new products. There are some new products coming out that may help for a short term. If their Xbox does not turn out as well as expected, it could be a negative.

TOP PICK

This is for a more defensive, more moderate play. Pays a 1.3% yield. 2006 is a big product launch year for them. Feels the growth is going to go up from 8% to about 12%.

DON'T BUY

Has a monopoly on operating systems and as a result they are taking the cash and plowing it back into a ton of other things. Ranks poorly in the database. Better opportunities elsewhere.

BUY

On his radar screen and is one he is potentially thinking of owning. Torn by the fact that they are the biggest and probably the best software company, but they are so big that to show any incremental growth they either have to make a major acquisition or come out with a great new product. Valuation has become far more attractive.

TOP PICK

Everything looks good for it. They are growing revenues at 10/12% every year. Generates tons of free cash flow. Has fantastic margins. A couple of big product launches including the XBox 360. In late 2006, we should get Microsoft Vista, their latest operating upgrade.

DON'T BUY

Its model price has been going down and is $23.54 which is a 6% negative differential.

TOP PICK

One of those companies that is in transition phase from when it was a market high growth darling to a more reasonable growth of 15% a year. Has $38 billion of cash on the balance sheet. Has the ability to pay a special dividend or buy back more stock. Trades at about 17 X earnings which is pretty reasonable value.

TOP PICK

Lots of new products coming out next year (the new Xbox, the new windows, new office". Seasonability is good. Technically good.

BUY

Pulling back to some support levels now. Proabably a great short term buying opportunity. A good defensive stock as they have so much cash it looks like a bank.

DON'T BUY

Stock went up about a month ago on the view that there could be a growth in the revenue rate as they launched a bunch of new products. Has now fallen back. Has not participated very well in this bull market.

DON'T BUY

Has been a difficult story and the whole tech sector is expensive. This company has promised a lot, but has not been able to deliver which has really hurt the company. Still have to deliver on their development side and they have a lot of competition breathing down their necks. Not cheap.

BUY

Management is very focused on cost cutting and they have a new product rollout in the last half of this year. This will be a 2006 story. Could grow its revenue by about 10% in thnext couple or three years. A lot of cash and expects increased dividends.
