Jim Cramer on Microsoft: “I Think My Nose Got This One Totally Wrong”

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) was among the stocks Jim Cramer discussed in this changing market. Cramer highlighted his disappointment with the stock, as he stated:

How about, though, when I’m attracted to what looks like value? How about when I own Microsoft for the Charitable Trust, thinking, well, it’s gotta ignite, right? It’s cheap, it’s good, it’s ready. I smelled a bargain. I think my nose got this one totally wrong. Stupid nose… I look at it, same price as it’s always been, right? I mean, it’s been there forever, but I gotta say, oh wow, that’s cheap, right? It’s doing nothing. I mean, the others are flying…

The same enterprise value to sales multiple as Alphabet. It’s got a ton of software. It’s hated, but that’s gotta be liked eventually. Of course, the stock’s being recommended by everyone, blah, blah, blah… Except for this Ben Reitzes from Melius, who’s adamant that Microsoft’s vulnerable from so many different directions, non-voice AI, huge gaming business, a Windows product that you wish you didn’t have to deal with, but your employer insists you have.

Meanwhile, the stock could be a huge source of funds to purchase SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI once they come public. Microsoft’s done absolutely nothing while most of the rest of tech has exploded higher. The opportunity cost here for me has been horrendous. But I liked it because it hadn’t taken off, because it hadn’t doubled. That’s looking like a… big mistake now. And if it doesn’t do well this next quarter, well, guess what’s going to happen? [Sell, sell, sell] Yeah, nine years we’ve owned this stock [sell, sell, sell]. I look at where it had come from, nowhere, and somehow I thought that was good.
