Microsoft closed at a record 543.45 USD on October 13 and trades near 530 USD, about 2% below that high. The stock trades at about 31 times fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings of 17.28 USD per share, after revenue rose 18% to 331.8 billion USD. The article says earnings growth is slowing as capital spending climbs, with capex expected around 175 billion USD in calendar 2026 and free cash flow down about 6% to roughly 67 billion USD. The author says he would consider buying near 465 USD, about 27 times trailing adjusted earnings, and would not buy at current levels. The fiscal first-quarter report due October 28 could shift that price.

- Microsoft vs. Alphabet: Is GOOGL’s Cloud Growth Worth More Than Investors Think?
Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOGL) trade at forward P/E ratios of 25.13 and 22.83, respectively. Google Cloud revenue jumped 82% to $24.8 billion in the second quarter, with operating income rising from $2.8 billion to $8.8 billion, while Azure and other cloud services grew 43%. Both companies face heavy infrastructure spending: Microsoft spent $35.8 billion on property and equipment, pushing its cloud gross margin down to 65%, while Alphabet spent $44.9 billion, leaving roughly negative $5.85 billion in quarterly free cash flow. The article argues Alphabet's $9.11 EPS is unreliable because about $98 billion came from net other income, so its 30% operating-income growth better reflects underlying performance. Microsoft has a more diversified earnings base and higher consolidated operating margins, but the key question is whether either company can turn AI demand into cash after paying for infrastructure.
- Microsoft vs. Amazon: Is AMZN’s AI Growth Being Undervalued by Investors?
Microsoft (MSFT) and Amazon (AMZN) trade at similar forward P/E ratios of 25.13 and 23.64, but Amazon is using AWS and retail profits to fund an infrastructure buildout that has pushed its free cash flow below zero. In Microsoft's June quarter, revenue rose 18% to $90.0 billion and operating income rose 18% to $40.6 billion, with Azure growing 43%. AWS revenue surged 37% to $42.2 billion in the second quarter, its fastest growth in 18 quarters, and its operating income reached $16.6 billion; AWS generated about 60% of Amazon's operating income from roughly 21% of revenue. Amazon's consolidated operating income grew 43% against 20% revenue growth, which the article presents as evidence of real operating leverage rather than only promised AI revenue.
- My Microsoft Price Prediction Looks Well Beyond the Current AI Cycle
The 24/7 Wall St. model sets a 12-month price target of $646.49 for Microsoft, implying 20.82% upside from the latest close of $535.07, and rates the stock a buy. The thesis rests on a $678B commercial backlog, Azure topping $100B in annual revenue for the first time, and Copilot moving toward a seat-plus-usage model. Shares have risen 37.11% since July 13, and the fiscal Q4 report showed revenue of $90.01B, non-GAAP EPS of $4.74 and Azure growth of 43%. The bull case reaches $751.56 on demand that exceeds supply and more than 30 million paid Copilot seats, while the bear case of $546.65 centers on capex rising 79.62% to $115.95B and free cash flow falling 6.46%. The article says the thesis holds while Azure grows above 40%, but would weaken if capex rises alongside flat backlog growth outside OpenAI.
- Michael Burry Questions Microsoft’s AI Spending. Is Its Valuation Misleading?
Michael Burry has questioned whether Microsoft's AI spending is truly necessary, suggesting the company may be using its financial figures as leverage, and argues Big Tech is spending heavily expecting to become a too-big-to-fail oligopoly. He reportedly holds MSFT shares and long-dated call options, so his stance is skepticism about spending rather than a short thesis. Microsoft's switch to a 25-year useful life for data centers and office buildings, from 15 years, cut its calendar 2026 capex forecast from about $190 billion to $175 billion, though CFO Amy Hood said spending plans were otherwise unchanged. Leases not yet started jumped from $196.6 billion to $329.1 billion in one quarter and will not appear on the balance sheet until they begin. The author argues the accounting change flatters earnings and understates obligations, so the stock, at a forward non-GAAP P/E of 26.80x versus a 5-year average of 30.51x, is not as cheap as it looks.
- Microsoft’s $50 Billion Gamble: Can Microsoft’s Azure Growth Justify Its Exploding AI Budget?
Microsoft reports fiscal first-quarter results on Wednesday, October 28, after the close, and the article says the report will show whether Azure growth can keep pace with its AI spending. In the last quarter of fiscal 2026, revenue reached $90.01 billion, up 17.8%, while Azure grew 43% and passed $100 billion in annual revenue for the first time; commercial RPO rose 84% to $678 billion. Costs rose just as fast: quarterly capex hit $41 billion, and free cash flow fell 23.19% to $19.6 billion. Management guided first-quarter capex above $50 billion including lease reclassification, and expects Azure growth of about 45% in constant currency. The article also highlights Microsoft 365 Copilot passing 30 million paid seats and RPO rising 25% excluding OpenAI.
- 3 Key Things to Monitor When Tech Giants Report Earnings
The article highlights three factors to watch as Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon report earnings: AI capital expenditure, revenue growth rates and management guidance. If hyperscalers keep ramping up spending, chipmakers could benefit. Micron posted 379% year-over-year revenue growth in its fiscal Q4 2026, while Google Cloud grew 82% in the second quarter, and the author prefers operating income over net income because large investments in SpaceX and Anthropic distort net results. Amazon reported a trailing 12-month cash outflow of $7.6 billion, mainly due to AI investments, compared with $18.2 billion in positive free cash flow for the 12 months ended June 30, 2025.

- History Shows 1 Powerful Fact That Makes Me Bullish on VTI
The article argues that long-term investors can look past daily headlines, since the broader U.S. stock market has tended to grow over time, using the Vanguard Morningstar Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) as an example. The fund has been available since May 2001 and delivered average annual returns of 9.44% over 25 years and about 12.6% annualized over the past five years, including through the 2008 financial crisis and the dot-com bear market. VTI holds 3,519 stocks across small-, mid- and large-caps, though it has underperformed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 over the past 10 years. The illustrative math shows a one-time $1,000 investment in 2001 growing to about $9,537, while $300 monthly would have reached about $325,555 and $500 monthly $542,592 after 25 years. The author stresses that past returns do not guarantee future results.
- Expert view: VN-Index has formed a short-term bottom, but this risk needs attention
VN-Index fell sharply in the first two sessions of the 19-23/10 week, at one point dropping to the 1,670-point area, before rebounding on broader buying late in the week to finish up 68.24 points (4%) at 1,774.15. Foreign investors net bought in 2 mid-week sessions but were still net sellers of about VND 969 billion over the five sessions. Mr. Bui Van Huy, CEO of FIDT, believes the market has likely formed a short-term bottom, citing the State Bank's request that banks cut deposit rates for terms of 6 months or longer by at least 0.5% per year and lower lending rates for priority sectors by 1.5-2% per year, along with a P/E excluding Vingroup of below or around 10 times. He cautions, however, that the bottom is not yet sustainable given risks from the Fed, global inflation and domestic inflation (September CPI up more than 5% year on year). He suggests investors consider buying in stages on market pullbacks, limit margin use and watch infrastructure and public investment groups.
- Berkshire Hathaway Stock Rose 10 Days in a Row in October for the First Time Since 2018. Here's What History Says Comes Next.
Class B shares of Berkshire Hathaway closed higher for 10 consecutive sessions from Oct. 1 through Oct. 14, rising from about $498 to $526, before the streak ended on Oct. 15. The stock later topped $547, surpassing the record close of $539.89 set in May 2025. Since 1998, such 10-day winning runs have occurred six other times, and in four of those six cases the shares were higher 12 months later. Under CEO Greg Abel, Berkshire has added to its Alphabet and Delta Air Lines positions and bought back about $4.4 billion of its own stock. The author notes the streak does not guarantee returns over the next 12 months, particularly with shares at a record high, but remains bullish on the company's long-term prospects.
- RBI does not target any price or level for rupee, says Governor Sanjay Malhotra
RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra said the central bank does not target any price or level for the rupee, but will keep taking necessary measures to curb speculation and excessive volatility and ensure orderly conditions in the forex market. Speaking at the NDTV World Summit 2026 in New Delhi, he said geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, the West Asia conflict and trade uncertainty have made the work of central banks more challenging. He noted that global inflation is elevated and commodity prices are higher, while global growth is lower, at 3.1% this year according to the IMF. He stressed that price stability remains the primary responsibility of central banks, and that inflation in India has risen steadily, largely due to supply-side pressures, to 5.5%. The RBI has raised its policy repo rate by 25 basis points, and its top goal is to rein in inflation while ensuring financial stability.
