Microsoft Earnings are out, here is a quick assessment
Note: I use a very simple forecasting formula to "guess" at future earnings (and sales) and future multiples to try and get a range of potential stock prices 12 months out. In the "broken clocks", the guesses were very close this quarter.
Revenue : $69.63B ($69.10)
Earnings : $ 3.23 ($3.22 / share)
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/29/microsoft-msft-q2-...Using my valuation model, fair price for the stock would be around $390 / share (vs. the $442 at close and the $418 after hours).
Looking forward 12 months or so, we might see Revenues (TTM) of $300B and earnings of
$13.75. Using some multiples of that have been historically in range we get
PE @ 28x = $385
PE @ 30x = $412
PE @ 33x = $453
PS @ 9x = $361
PS @ 10x = $401
PS @ 11x = $441
So a range of roughly $360 - $450, the mid point of these would be $405 which is what I would use for any purchase decisions (anything below that would be a buy signal, anything over $450 would be a sell signal).
