If you believe MSFT can sustain its current margin profile while closing some of the growth gap versus ANET, then favor MSFT because it is priced much cheaper on every major multiple despite better profitability and balance-sheet quality.
MSFT trades at a steep discount to ANET on P/E, P/S, EV/EBITDA, and EV/Revenue despite materially larger scale and stronger profitability. ANET-implied price of $1,231.50 suggests 146.3% upside versus the current $499.99, but MSFT’s historical band and DCF range indicate ANET comparison may be overly aggressive.
