The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

cnbc.com - Microsoft msft q4 earnings report

Solid report with Intelligent Cloud revenue now over $100B as the headline.


Model Forecast Actual
EPS $4.27 $4.24 $4.74*
Revenue $89.32 $87.62 $90.01

*Actual EPS was $4.81 but that includes $3.2B from Anthropic investment

Looking at TTM values
EPS      : $17.28 / share     
Revenue : $331.84B
(these exclude Anthropic equity)

Stock is trading at around $400 on the news, which implies a PE of 23x; which is well below the recent levels where it was over 30x. P/S is around 9x; which is also on the low end.

A simple model I use suggests EPS of around $20.00 and Revenue of $387B in the next 4 quarters and a valuation range of 26xEPS and 10xPS ; or roughly $525 - $550 / share give or take. I have been a net buyer this year with adds at $389, $402, $399, $411, $426 and $482 (was a bit early to pull on that in hindsight). My overall costs basis is in the low $40s however.

My overall sentiment remains bullish, but no need to be adding any more given the relative size of this in my portfolio is large as it is.
