[Analyst Ratings] Microsoft gets higher target price；A new rating indicates a 42% increase for another company!
Microsoft (MSFT): 11% upside!![]()
CFRA recently raised its price target for $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ to $330, which would still leave 11% upside at the current share price of $295.37.
The agency believes that MSFT reported EPS of $2.45 for the third quarter ended March 31, above its consensus of $2.22. Revenue growth of 7% (10% ex-exchange) was higher than its forecast of 3%, supported by commercial growth in Office 365.
Azure growth decelerated to 27%, but better than its +25% view, while the decline in the PC business moderated (-9% vs. -19% in the December quarter.) LinkedIn grew 8% and search grew 10% as the ad market appears more resilient than previously thought and MSFT looks to gain search share through Bing.
The agency sees revenue growth returning to +10% by the end of FY23, with greater contribution/integration from AI. Cost reductions will help margins/EPS, but greater calculation intensity will drive capex higher. Considering $56B in net cash and seeing a healthy FCF ($70B in FY24, $80B in FY25), cloud growth will continue to grow at a +20% rate in FY24.
Meta Platforms (META.O): 19% upside!![]()
Morgan Stanley maintains a Hold rating on $Meta Platforms (META.US)$ with a price target of $250, which leaves 19% upside at the current share price of $209.40.
Morgan Stanley believes there are multiple new AI drivers in online advertising and generative content creation that will enable Meta to drive stronger engagement, usage duration, ad unit conversion, advertiser ROI and ultimately monetization on core Facebook and Instagram.
The bank believes that AI-driven behavioral changes will lead to lasting multi-year online advertising growth and maintains a Hold rating and $250 price target on Meta.
Coca-Cola (KO.N): 16% upside!![]()

Citi analyst Filippo Falorni raised his price target on Coca-Cola to $74 from $71 and maintained a buy rating on the stock.

kaize finance : i think MSFT, but although I love the business, its valuation is getting out of hand.
CasualInvestor : Has analyst price forecasts ever been met? I usually discount their values as it’s never accurate.
