Market Sentiment Analysis

Equity markets paused their bubble rally yesterday after comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Powell cautioned that the central bank has no risk-free path. The labor market has deteriorated, while core inflation remains stubborn. Therefore, last week's interest rate cut may have strengthened the case of stagflation, the worst economic condition. NVIDIA's $100 billion investment announcement in OpenAI also raised concerns about a circular economy focused on AI, another red flag for the economy. Futures show a rebound this morning, but volatility should persist until Friday's inflation reading Fundamental Analysis

Microsoft is the largest software maker, one of the most valuable public companies, and one of the most valuable brands globally. It is a significant player in cloud services, gaming, and AI, following its massive investment in OpenAI.

So, why am I bullish on MSFT following its mid-summer correction?

Microsoft has an excellent AI strategy and a near monopoly on operating systems, as its Azure cloud services continue to surpass estimates. Valuations are reasonable for an AI and tech company, and I believe it will receive a massive revenue boost once ChatGPT monetizes sufficiently. The dividend yield remains a disappointment, but MSFT has industry-leading operating statistics. I rank it as a must-have for any portfolio.

P/E Ratio 37.33 Bearish
P/B Ratio 11.02 Bearish
PEG Ratio 2.23 Bullish
Current Ratio 1.35 Bearish
ROIC-WACC Ratio Positive Bullish
