How to read the ranks

For every stock, we judge its performance against its peers and rank it on a scale of 1 to 100. The higher the rank, the better the stock performs than its peers. And, we do this for six investment strategies:

Value - shows how good of a value the stock is. Green is "inexpensive"; red is "expensive".

Growth - shows a company's growth potential. Green is "high growth" expected; red is "tough times ahead".

Safety - relates to the amount of debt a company has. Green is low debt level; red is high debt level.

Combined Financial - this isn't an average of the first three ranks but rather a consolidated view across several financial indicators. Green = good; red = tread carefully.

(NEW) Sentiment - quantifies professional analyst ratings and holdings as well as market pulse. Green = positive sentiment; red = skepticism (Only available to Premium Subscribers)

(NEW) 360° View - the ultimate rating with all financial and non-financial indicators

Microsoft stock research in summary

microsoft.com


Microsoft shares have a market-typical stock price level. They are safely financed and show above average growth, but are poor value. We recommend evaluating whether the future of the company Microsoft is typical for this industry which the market average price level of the shares suggests. If you believe that the future of the company is above average, that could be an argument for buying the shares and vice versa.
