Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT)

I think that Microsoft has great leadership and with Windows 8 coming out plus the the opportunity to get into the phone market they will be a player.

Microsoft has seen outstanding growth for a company of its size. It will continue to be dominant in business/PCs. Windows and Office won't be going away anytime soon. Gates is a great CEO. Microsoft is just beginning in smart phones, where there is potential for growth.

All of their core products, with exception of video games, is becoming less relevant over time.

Windows isn't cool.

Money$ Money$ Money$ and Windows Smartphones back as a player.

Stock looks good for a good bounce here, maybe even a couple months, although I'm only putting in for a few weeks. If it breaks through 31.50ish, it should run. We will see!

2012 10 Experts pick

The originator of the evil business deal.

MSFT keeps shooting out cash, earnings are out-pacing sales, it has manageable debt, and it is cheap by the numbers. We could be looking at a 30% bump up from $29.47 when we look at this a year from now.

It is time...this stock has got to move...full of cash...always a consistent leader with office...they need one outstanding product to light the fire again.

I like the potential of Windows in the mobile devices market, especially with Nokia's good numbers.

Mr. Softy.. You are good to us and we didn't notice.
Please forgive us and get back to work.

Return a large portion of cash flow to share holders through dividends and share repurchases. The payout ratio, at ~25% is very sustainable and MSFT has the ability to consistently raise the dividend payout. PC sales worldwide will not prove problematic, but the increase in sales for the business enterprise and entertainment divisions should compensate for any weaknesses in windows. Additionally, their private cloud solution combined with Office 365 will keep MSFT competitive in cloud computing moving forward. I also see MSFT expanding into the mobile space with Nokia and other partners.

Microsoft is fairly valued for its size and strength, but its competitive positioning is weakening. Click here for the details:

growing free cash flow, dividend, buying in shares, low PE at a new high so finally getting ready to move to at least a market multiple.

Solid brand & great PE/Yield combo

The stock is very undervalued, and the company itself is experiencing growth due to emphasis on its mobile and XBOX platforms. Finally, Windows 8 is due to emerge soon and the traditional windows platform for PCs is still a cash cow.
