The case for buying Microsoft
CRM Assist | at | by Mike
Giant Microsoft is still a stock to buy, in the view of Jonathan Rudy, analyst for Standard & Poor's Equity Research Services, thanks to its reasonable valuation and strong balance sheet and cash flow. "Reasonable valuation" means the price of Microsoft (MSFT) stock is low relative to some tech companies, which Rudy attributes to investors chasing companies that were hit harder by the tech collapse and thus have the potential for a more dramatic climb. But over the longer run, he still sees Microsoft as a bastion of strength.
