I've owned a little MSFT for years. They've been quietly earning a little more each year, but their stock price has not kept pace.
In their earnings report recently, they posted what are IMO pretty strong earnings, but they got hit pretty good. They provided guidance for next year that has them earning about 2.15/share. They rarely miss their guidance. Given today's price, that gives them a forward PE of just over 13.
This seems insanely cheap given that Microsoft basically has a giant money printing press. Sure, the YHOO deal is a bad move, but this still seems too cheap.
Does anyone actually think that MSFT's earnings growth potential is less than the average S&P company?
