Latest Stock Buy or Sell?

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly After sitting on the sidelines a while, it is once again time to recommend MSFT as a TOP PICK. As the world's largest software company, it has developed an amazing recurring revenue model that incorporates enterprise cloud services that grew by 50% in 2021. It trades at a discount to peers at 30x earnings and is supporting an impressive ROE of 45%. It is a cash flow king, adding to cash reserves while aggressively buying back shares and retiring debt. It's dividend is supported by a payout ratio under 30% of cash flow. We recommend a stop-loss at $240, looking to achieve $370 -- upside potential of 30%. Yield 0.89% (Analysts’ price target is $269.58)

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly PFE has a long pipeline of new drugs focusing on oncology, rare diseases and vaccines, generating over $50 billion in annual sales. It trades at 13x earnings compared to peers at 20x. Latest reported earnings beat expectations by 27% and supports a ROE over 34%. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 40% of cashflow. It is managing its cash reserves conservatively, maintaining a good war chest, while still retiring debt. We would recommend a stop loss at $42.00, looking to achieve $60.50 -- upside potential of 19%. Yield 3.0% (Analysts’ price target is $60.47)
