Microsoft reported earnings on October 28
Microsoft an Underpriced Tech Stock
Microsoft reported strong earnings and margins for calendar Q3 2010, which are reviewed at the Microsoft Financial Performance page, yet the PE (ttm) is only 12.1 at a $28.00 stock price. By comparison,
* Apple (AAPL) trades at a PE (ttm) of 20.8 at a $315.00 stock price
* Google (GOOG) trades at a PE (ttm) of 25.4 at a $625.00 stock price
Microsoft's gross and net margins for calendar Q3 2010 were 80.6% and 33.4%, on total revenues of $16.2B and a net income of $5.4B. By comparison,
* Apple (AAPL) gross margin 36.9%, net margin 21.2%, total revenues $20.3B, net income $4.3B
* Google (GOOG) gross margin 65.0%, net margin 29.7%, total revenues $7.3B, net income $2.2B
Microsoft is a financial outperformer with incredible margins, yet the PE does not indicate such. Based on the PE (ttm), investor expectations are higher for Apple and Google earnings per share growth. AAPL and GOOG are popular stocks currently.
Microsoft is old news, yet continues as a cash flow machine that has accumulated over $44B in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Current assets are $59.6B with total assets of $91.5B. By comparison,
* Apple (AAPL) has over $25B liquid assets, current assets $41.7B, total assets $75.2B
* Google (GOOG) has over $33B liquid assets, current assets $39.4B, total assets 53.3B
