If you believe MSFT’s superior margins and growth deserve at least its AAPL-based earnings multiple, then buy or overweight MSFT because it trades at 26.9x P/E versus AAPL’s 36.4x despite faster revenue growth and better profitability.
MSFT trades at 26.9x P/E versus AAPL at 36.4x, even though MSFT has stronger growth and profitability, which suggests a relative valuation discount on earnings. On sales, MSFT is slightly cheaper too at 10.4x P/S versus AAPL at 10.8x, while the implied price of $654.14 sits well above the current $464.72, indicating meaningful upside in AAPL-based framework.
