If you believe MSFT's superior growth (14.9%), margins (Operating Margin 45.6%) and ROIC (43.6%) justify re-rating to a EA-style earnings multiple (EA P/E 48.0x), then buy MSFT because EA-implied price is $654.46 (~52% upside from $430.30) and the balance sheet (Net Debt/EBITDA -0.3x; Debt/Equity 0.1x) supports downside protection.
Applying EA's P/E to MSFT implies a price of $654.46, ~52.1% above the current $430.30, creating a large valuation gap driven by differing P/E multiples. However, on revenue multiples (P/S and EV/Revenue) MSFT is richer, so the gap depends on which multiple the market chooses to re-rate.
