Why You Should Own Microsoft in 2023 and Beyond | MSFT Stock Review

Microsoft is the second largest technology company in the world, currently valued at $1.8 trillion dollars. The software giant has fueled its 47 years of growth through constant innovation and major acquisitions. A single dollar invested in Microsoft at its 1986 IPO would've turned into $4,179 by the end of 2022; that’s with dividends reinvested of course. This amounts to a total return of 417,800%, or 25.48% annually. You can just imagine the crazy wealth this created. In fact, of early Microsoft employees with stock, 4 have become billionaires and at least 12,000 have become millionaires. But can an investment in Microsoft today still build wealth? I certainly think so. Microsoft is the largest holding in my long-term dividend growth stock portfolio. In this video, I’m going to provide a comprehensive overview of Microsoft’s current business and explain whether it deserves a place investment portfolio.

Dude, you went in depth!!! I appreciate that.
Hands down the best breakdown of a company and what they own!

[Duke_of_Prunes]

I bought most of my 332 shares at $17, and now the modest dividend buys me almost a full share per quarter (.898 this quarter). So I continue to DRIP -- definitely my best investment of all time.

[maxwhite]

Wow I just bought 5 shares of MSFT this past week but now I feel like i need more! 😂

[cliffdariff]

Long term yes a buy... but if you are 65 and ready to retire? Not really an income stock.

[Dividendology]

I definitely have peace about MSFT being the largest position in the dividend portfolio. Great dividend growth, low payout ratio, good MOAT, great FCF growth. I'm excited to see where they go in the future.

[charalambosmichael]

Excellent content, full of information. Much appreciated!

Microsoft is part of my 10 stocks that I will never sell and hold to pass onto my children when I pass. That way my kids and grandchildren have a chance to build generational wealth, someone has to break the cycle and I'll carry that burden.

[Ditronus.]

Their growth can certainly slow if the government disallows them to buy anything in the future like they are trying to do now.

[ethangreenberg]

Please do a Target Review as it is down 30%+ this year

[dylanoh]

I really appreciate your in depth review of Microsoft! This is such a great effort.

[pavXX]

Good overview on MSFT. Just wish the div was >1.1%

[bwdelisle]

I bet it has something to do with where ChatGPT integrations are going.

[thelittleinvestor]

Hi, what editing software do you use?

[babyprinceuk]

Amazing video. However, I don’t understand how MSFT is better than GOOG?

[dexinvictus]

Rewatching this after seeing the video you posted today. Truly an anomalous company. Free cash flow growth is still crazy

[dersanftekrieger]

Hey, Greetz from a german dude. Good video perfect.❤

[hhhruska]

it is nice video for 2021, but in 2023 everyone will be saving money, also big companies, so there is no rush in buying microsoft stocks, if you don't want to lose money

[Mark_Dividends]

Microsoft is a winner. Their subscription platform is just a cash flow machine

[whatthepick]

That is how you know its a Blue Chip multiple streams great strategies and long term plays

[PaulSebastianM]

My biggest disappointment with their current products is with Teams, it's slow and buggy, and secondly Win 11 is a failed UI/UX redesign, a half-measure solution, a waste of time and resources (I'm not saying that the work underneath on the core OS was).
