$Microsoft(MSFT.US$ At its current price of $336, Microsoft has a market cap of $2.5 trillion. More important, investors are paying 37.5x earnings for MSFT stock and taking a once-generous dividend that now yields 0.74%. In conventional terms, that’s overvalued.
Why are people still buying? Microsoft is delivering enormous highly-profitable growth. GAAP earnings rose 45% year-over-year in the latest quarter. Revenue was up 19%. That’s net income of nearly $15.5 billion on revenue of $41.7 billion. For those scoring at home, 37.6% of revenue became net income.
Growth is supposed to slow as companies get bigger.
