Microsoft: Not A Strong Buy, But Don't Drop This Stock

  • Despite a 10% stock decline, I maintain a 'Buy' rating for Microsoft's long-term growth prospects, despite near-term trade turmoil impacts. Trade tensions and tariffs create uncertainty, affecting MSFT's hardware sales and potentially increasing R&D costs, impacting consumer confidence and economic growth. Earnings estimates for the Company have been revised down for 2026–2028, but long-term revenue and EPS projections remain positive, supporting a $429.65 price target.
