Microsoft Stock Poised for 30% Upside – Barrons.com

I agree with this article yet the short term trend is down.  Look to buy Mr. Softie at the 200 day MA at $29.52.  Patient investors can own now but you may be able to average in a little lower.

 

Don’t Be So Hard on Microsoft

Windows 8, torrents of free cash flow and a potential dividend increase may lift the underperforming stock. Fred Hickey: “That is the lowest I have seen the multiple in years.”

Windows 8 may provide a window of opportunity for Microsoft investors, but so too should the company’s staggering free cash flow.

Microsoft (ticker: MSFT) watchers are transfixed by the Windows 8 software launch in October, which promises a new era of touch-screen interaction that pits a Microsoft tablet called Surface against the iPad from Apple (AAPL) and similarly slender, Windows-based devices from Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Dell (DELL).

Yet investors should also focus on Microsoft’s $29 billion in free cash flow, and the likelihood that its 2.6% dividend yield will rise, possibly this fall. That should shore up Microsoft’s valuation and its stock, which has lagged the Nasdaq Composite for the past five years.
