Conclusion • Microsoft is a well-established company and a leader in its industry. Financial ratios indicate that Microsoft is out performing its industry as well as the S&P 500. However on the down side a unstable WACC leave investors with concerns. But despite these problems I feel that the strong business savvy of Bill Gates and Microsoft will be enough to weather any storm. The final analysis Microsoft is a bargain at $25.22 per share.
