Microsoft Surges To Record Highs, Stock Price Now At 33x Earnings: How Much Further Can It Climb?
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) reached a new all-time high of $377 per share, with a year-to-date gain of 57%. The company's market cap is at $2.8 trillion, just behind Apple Inc. (AAPL). Microsoft's success is attributed to its leadership in AI, cloud computing, and strong financial performance, with Q3 2023 revenue of $56.5 billion and EPS of $2.99. However, its forward P/E ratio of 33x and bearish RSI divergence signal caution among investors. Goldman Sachs sees MSFT as a compelling investment, with a 1-year target of $406.
