It’s not.\nAt 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.\nWhy 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.\nGrowth is supposed to slow as companies get bigger.\nNo one told Microsoft’s Azure cloud.\nLandlord of the Clouds\nClouds are uniquely profitable because they cap a company’s costs while making its software more valuable. Software runs today’s world. Microsoft makes the operating system and tool set people rely on most. Thus, Microsoft runs the world. It’s not complicated.\nBut this didn’t seem obvious when Satya Nadella became CEO in 2014. It still doesn’t seem obvious to those who confuse companies like Netflix(NASDAQ:NFLX) and Twitter(NASDAQ:TWTR) with clouds.\nThe difference is this. Netflix and Twitter rent cloud capacity, so as they grow their costs rise. Microsoft is buying and building capacity, so while its costs grow revenues also rise, including revenue from renting that capacity. It’s the difference between being a landlord and a tenant.\nThe Practical Metaverse\nMSFT stock also runs rings around rivals from a strategic perspective.\nTake the metaverse, which makes William Gibson’s concept of cyberspace real, people seeming to interact within a computer system. The artists formerly known as Facebook were laughed at when they announced this, changing the company name to Meta Platforms(NASDAQ:FB) and turning the CEO into a cartoon.\nMicrosoft is doing the same thing, only quietly, step by step, and in a businesslike manner. It’s working with Nvidia(NASDAQ:NVDA), whose fast graphics chips make things like the metaverse possible.\nIt’s putting this capability into its Teams product, emphasizing collaboration and communication. The idea is to make working from home feel like working together in a physical office. By solving the work from home dilemma, on software already used by 250 million people, Microsoft will get metaverse technology into the mainstream as fast as it can be rolled out.\nThe Paid Cloud\nThis illustrates a second difference between Microsoft and the other cloud companies.\nThe Microsoft cloud is a paid cloud. It supports open source software, which is downloaded free. But the open source contract also requires improvements be donated back. Microsoft’s customers are also developers, growing its software stack.\nEverything else, you pay for.It’s worth the price, but you pay. By contrast, Meta (and to a great extent Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOGL, NASDAQ:GOOG) consists mainly of free services. Apple, meanwhile, gets most of its money from selling devices,Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN) from selling physical products.\nThe Bottom Line on MSFT Stock\nThe only force that can slow MSFT stock right now is government. But it’s not in government’s self-interest to do so.\nThat’s because Microsoft’s software makes government more efficient. The percentage of government income, at every level, going into bureaucracy keeps falling. Going after Microsoft on antitrust grounds, as the U.S. did two decades ago, would put further gains at risk.\nBesides, Microsoft’s cloud is essential to competition. Other large software firms like Adobe(NASDAQ:ADBE) depend upon it. This is a global dependence, not a national one.\nIt’s Microsoft’s world now. We just live in it.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":845351915,"gmtCreate":1636290421363,"gmtModify":1636290421851,"author":{"id":"4087109808120260","authorId":"4087109808120260","name":"Tanyl","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/174329973340cf0f5b68791ee5b08afd","vip":1,"crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4087109808120260","authorIdStr":"4087109808120260"},"htmlText":"I
