• Execution

  brought	
  by	
  the	
  cloud-­‐based	
  computing	
  model.	
  
Microsoft	
  is	
  in	
  its	
  transition	
  to	
  a	
  computing	
  environment	
  to	
  provide	
  cloud-­‐based	
  services	
  
for	
  smart	
  devices.	
  The	
  company

  to	
  invest	
  a	
  huge	
  amount	
  of	
  resources	
  in	
  software	
  
development

  while	
  its	
  competitors	
  are	
  also	
  rapidly	
  developing	
  and	
  
delivering	
  these	
  services	
  to	
  customers.	
  This	
  might	
  decrease	
  the	
  revenues	
  and	
  operating	
  
margins	
  that	
  have	
  been	
  previously	
  achieved.	
  	
  In	
  addition,

  could	
  successfully	
  attract	
  customers

  generate	
  required

• Intense	
  competition	
  
Microsoft	
  faces	
  intense	
  competition	
  across	
  all	
  markets	
  for	
  its	
  products	
  services,	
  with	
  
competitors	
  range	
  from	
  Fortune	
  100	
  companies	
  to	
  small	
  businesses.	
  Software	
  vendors	
  are	
  
devoting	
  enormous	
  efforts	
  to	
  building	
  software	
  that	
  mimics	
  the	
  features	
  of	
  Microsoft	
  
products	
  and	
  even	
  violates	
  its	
  intellectual	
  property	
  rights	
  and	
  then	
  sell	
  at	
  little	
  to	
  no	
  cost.	
  
In	
  response	
  to	
  competition,	
  Microsoft	
  continues	
  to	
  develop	
  its	
  products	
  with	
  basic	
  
functions	
  and	
  sell	
  them	
  at	
  lower	
  prices	
  than	
  the	
  standard	
  versions.	
  These	
  competitive	
  
pressures	
  can	
  reduce	
  sales	
  volume,	
  price,	
  and	
  increase	
  operating	
  costs,	
  which	
  would	
  
decrease	
  margins	
  and	
  revenues.	
  
• Intellectual	
  property	
  rights	
  
Protecting	
  intellectual	
  property	
  rights	
  globally,	
  especially	
  in	
  countries	
  where	
  laws	
  are	
  less	
  
protective	
  of	
  these	
  rights,	
  is	
  challenging	
  and	
  Microsoft	
  might	
  now	
  be	
  able	
  to	
  adequately	
  do	
  
this.	
  	
  As	
  a	
  result,	
  this	
  problem	
  will	
  decrease	
  revenue	
  in	
  those	
  countries	
  and	
  hence,	
  
negatively	
  affect	
  Microsoft’s	
  revenue	
  in	
  total.	
  In	
  addition,	
  the	
  company	
  needs	
  to	
  spend	
  
more	
  money	
  and	
  efforts	
  to	
  educate	
  customers	
  and	
  lawmakers	
  about	
  the	
  benefits	
  of	
  
promoting	
  licensing	
  products.	
  
• Security	
  vulnerabilities	
  
Hackers	
  might	
  develop	
  viruses	
  that	
  attack	
  Microsoft	
  products,	
  networks,	
  and	
  data	
  centers.	
  
Even	
  though	
  this	
  is	
  an	
  industry-­‐wide	
  problem,	
  Microsoft	
  endures	
  the	
  highest	
  risk	
  since	
  it	
  is	
  
one	
  of	
  the	
  most	
  popular	
  operating	
  systems.	
  The	
  company	
  might	
  also	
  experience	
  outages	
  
and	
  data	
  losses	
  if	
  it	
  fails	
  to	
  implement	
  an	
  adequate	
  operations	
  infrastructure.

  Analysis	
  
	
  
Strengths	
  
–	
  Brand	
  loyalty	
  and	
  reputation:	
  globally,	
  
Microsoft	
  has	
  always	
  been	
  the	
  most	
  
popular	
  OS	
  and	
  software	
  provider	
  and	
  
accounts	
  for	
  over	
  90%	
  of	
  market	
  share.	
  
–	
  Simple	
  software:	
  Microsoft	
  products	
  are	
  
easy	
  to	
  use	
  and	
  still	
  maintain	
  great	
  quality.	
  
–	
  Strong	
  distribution	
  channels:	
  Microsoft	
  
works	
  with	
  all	
  major	
  computer	
  hardware	
  
producers	
  and	
  computer	
  retailers	
  to	
  sell	
  
pre-­‐installed	
  Windows	
  software	
  
computers.	
  
–	
  Acquisition	
  of	
  Skype:	
  With	
  300	
  million	
  
users,	
  Skype	
  boosts	
  Microsoft’s	
  online	
  
presence	
  and	
  advertising.	
  
–	
  Strong	
  hinancial	
  performance:	
  Increased	
  
revenue	
  and	
  a	
  large	
  amount	
  of	
  cash	
  to	
  use	
  
for	
  investments	
  and	
  acquisitions.	
  
Weaknesses	
  
–	
  Poor	
  investments	
  and	
  
acquisitions:	
  Many	
  acquisitions	
  
made	
  by	
  Microsoft	
  soon	
  fail	
  and	
  
shut	
  down;	
  very	
  few	
  are	
  
successful.	
  
–	
  Security	
  hlaws:	
  Window	
  OS	
  is	
  
the	
  least	
  protected	
  against	
  virus	
  
attacks	
  compared	
  to	
  other	
  OS.	
  
–	
  Mature	
  PC	
  and	
  mobile	
  markets:	
  
Microsoft	
  only	
  entered	
  these	
  
sectors	
  recently	
  and	
  thus,	
  will	
  
grow	
  revenues	
  at	
  a	
  slower	
  rate	
  
than	
  its	
  competitors.	
  
–	
  Slow	
  to	
  innovate:	
  The	
  company	
  
spends	
  many	
  resources	
  on	
  R&D	
  
for	
  innovative	
  products,	
  but	
  for	
  
the	
  most	
  part	
  has	
  failed	
  in	
  this	
  
area.	
  
Opportunities	
  
–	
  Cloud	
  based	
  services:	
  Microsoft	
  
has	
  the	
  resources	
  needed	
  to	
  
develop	
  and	
  expand	
  its	
  cloud	
  
computing	
  system	
  	
  for	
  the	
  
increasing	
  demand.	
  
–	
  Mobile	
  industry:	
  Smartphones	
  
and	
  tablets	
  markets	
  are	
  growing	
  
fast,	
  Microsoft	
  can	
  utilize	
  this	
  
opportunity	
  to	
  develop	
  its	
  
devices	
  and	
  mobile	
  OS.	
  
–	
  Acquisitions:	
  With	
  a	
  huge	
  
amount	
  of	
  cash,	
  the	
  company	
  can	
  
invest	
  and	
  acquire	
  startups	
  to	
  
grow	
  bigger.	
  
Threats	
  
–	
  Intense	
  competition:	
  Microsoft	
  is	
  facing	
  
many	
  competitors	
  such	
  as	
  Google	
  and	
  
Apple	
  in	
  both	
  PC	
  and	
  mobile	
  OS.	
  
–	
  Change	
  in	
  customers	
  habits:	
  Customers	
  
are	
  shifting	
  to	
  mobile	
  markets,	
  in	
  which	
  
Microsoft	
  just	
  enters	
  recently.	
  
–	
  Lawsuits:	
  Microsoft	
  has	
  been	
  sued	
  and	
  
lost	
  in	
  some	
  large	
  cases,	
  which	
  are	
  
expensive.	
  If	
  the	
  company	
  does	
  not	
  come	
  
up	
  with	
  solutions	
  in	
  a	
  timely	
  manner,	
  there	
  
will	
  be	
  more	
  to	
  come.

• Microsoft’s	
  growth	
  rates	
  over	
  the	
  last	
  
ten	
  years	
  have	
  fluctuated	
  
tremendously.	
  The	
  last	
  five	
  years	
  have	
  
not	
  seen	
  a	
  great	
  change	
  either,	
  and	
  it	
  
is	
  due	
  to	
  new	
  products	
  and	
  the	
  
emphasis	
  that	
  the	
  company	
  puts	
  in	
  the	
  
particular	
  sales.	
  	
  An	
  example	
  would	
  be	
  
the	
  sales	
  of	
  their	
  Surface	
  tablets,	
  
which	
  sales	
  have	
  had	
  an	
  increase	
  of	
  
24%	
  to	
  hit	
  $1.1B	
  in	
  the	
  most	
  recent	
  
quarter	
  while	
  PC	
  sales	
  have	
  declined.	
  
	
  
• Although	
  revenues	
  have	
  increased,	
  
even	
  with	
  the	
  constantly	
  changing	
  
growth	
  rates	
  over	
  the	
  last	
  several	
  
years,	
  their	
  gross	
  profit	
  has	
  steadily	
  
decreased	
  for	
  the	
  past	
  five	
  years	
  and	
  
the	
  likelihood	
  of	
  that	
  trend	
  continuing	
  
is	
  high	
  because	
  their	
  costs	
  continue	
  to	
  
rise	
  with	
  new	
  developments	
  more	
  
than	
  their	
  revenues.	
  	
  
	
  
• Microsoft’s	
  acquirement	
  of	
  Nokia’s	
  
Cellphone	
  division	
  was	
  a	
  $243M	
  
expense.	
  They	
  will	
  attempt	
  to	
  have	
  a	
  
greater	
  impact	
  in	
  the	
  development	
  as	
  
their	
  Windows	
  phones	
  have	
  
drastically	
  lagged	
  the	
  competition	
  
from	
  Samsung,	
  Apple,	
  and	
  other	
  
cellphone	
  giants.	
  These	
  higher	
  initial	
  
costs	
  cause	
  Microsoft’s	
  profit	
  to	
  
decline	
  year	
  over	
  year.	
  
	
  
• Long	
  Term	
  debt	
  has	
  more	
  than	
  
quadrupled	
  from	
  2010	
  to	
  2014.	
  In	
  
2014	
  alone	
  there	
  was	
  a	
  63.84%	
  
increase	
  from	
  the	
  year	
  before.	
  	
  This	
  
could	
  be	
  because	
  Microsoft	
  is	
  taking	
  
advantage	
  of	
  low	
  interest	
  rates	
  to	
  
become

Microsoft	
  started

  with	
  software	
  and	
  is	
  still	
  the	
  leading	
  OS	
  and	
  software

Microsoft	
  is	
  extremely	
  popular	
  for	
  its	
  Microsoft	
  Office	
  products	
  and	
  doesn’t	
  seem	
  to	
  have	
  
any	
  big	
  competitors,	
  besides	
  possibly	
  Google	
  Docs.	
  	
  Once	
  Microsoft	
  further	
  develops	
  its	
  
cloud	
  computing	
  system,	
  it	
  will	
  be	
  in	
  a	
  better	
  position.	
  	
  What	
  differentiates	
  Microsoft	
  is	
  that	
  
its	
  products	
  are	
  simple	
  and	
  easy	
  to	
  use.

CONCLUSION	
  AND	
  RECOMMENDATION	
  
	
  
FCFE,	
  FCF,	
  and	
  DDM	
  models,	
  weighted	
  at	
  70%,	
  20%,	
  and	
  10%	
  respectively,	
  are	
  utilized	
  to	
  
estimate	
  the	
  intrinsic	
  value	
  of	
  Microsoft’s	
  stock	
  price.	
  Because	
  of	
  heavy	
  fluctuation	
  in	
  the	
  
growth	
  of	
  free	
  cash	
  flow,	
  FCF	
  cannot	
  be	
  relied	
  on,	
  and	
  thus	
  was	
  weighted	
  at	
  10%.	
  In	
  
addition,	
  DDM	
  was	
  only	
  weighted	
  at	
  20%	
  because	
  the	
  dividend	
  growth	
  rate	
  fluctuates,	
  and	
  
at	
  some	
  periods,	
  the	
  growth	
  rate	
  was	
  greater	
  than	
  the	
  cost	
  of	
  capital.	
  	
  All	
  of	
  these	
  reasons	
  
make	
  DDM	
  become	
  unstable	
  overtime.	
  	
  FCFE	
  is	
  chosen	
  to	
  be	
  the	
  best	
  method	
  to	
  valuate	
  
MSFT	
  because	
  it	
  is	
  more	
  relevant	
  to	
  the	
  company.	
  Hence,	
  most	
  of	
  the	
  weight	
  is	
  assigned	
  to	
  
FCFE.

MSFT	
  stock	
  is

  at	
  $41.42.	
  
The	
  intrinsic	
  price	
  is	
  estimated	
  at	
  $29.84.	
  
	
  
Therefore,	
  we	
  conclude	
  that	
  MSFT	
  is	
  overpriced	
  and	
  is	
  expected	
  to	
  come	
  down.	
  We	
  
recommend	
  that	
  owners	
  of	
  MSFT	
  stock	
  sell.

    PART  1:  COMPANY  DESCRIPTION  AND  BACKGROUND         MICROSOFT  ANALYSIS  AND  VALUATION  PROJECT  |  1   COMPANY  DESCRIPTION  AND  BACKGROUND     Business  Summary     Founded  in  1975,  Microsoft  Corporation  develops,  licenses,  markets,  and  supports   software,  services,  and  devices  worldwide,  and  is  based  in  Redmond,  Washington.  The   company  is  comprised  of  the  following  segments:       Company   Microsoft   Sector   Business  Software   and  Services   Industry   Computer  Software   and  Hardware   Ticker   MSFT   Exchange   NASDAQ   Price   $41.42   52  Week  Low   $38.51   52  Week  High   $50.04   Market  Cap   340.70B   Shares   8.20B   Beta   1.08   P/E   16.71   EPS   2.63     • Devices  and  Consumer  (D&C)   Licensing  Segment:  licenses   Windows  operating  system  and   related  software;  Microsoft  Office   for  consumers;  and  Windows   Phone  operating  system.     • Computing  and  Gaming  Hardware   segment:  provides  Xbox  gaming   and  entertainment  consoles  and   accessories.   • Phone  Hardware  segment:   produces  Lumia  Smartphones  and   other  non-­‐Lumia  phones.     • D&C  Other  segment:  provides   Windows  Store,  Xbox  Live   transactions,  and  Windows  Phone   Store;  search  advertising;  display   advertising.   • Commercial  Licensing  segments:   licenses  server  products,  including   Windows  Server,  Microsoft  SQL   Server,  and  Visual  Studio. Microsoft  markets  and  allocates  its  products  through  original  equipment  manufacturers,   distributors,  resellers,  and  online  retailers.     Domestic  and  Foreign  Markets     In  FY  2014,  Microsoft’s  revenue  was  $86.8  billion  in  total.  Revenue  generated  from  foreign   countries  accounts  for  49.9%  while  revenue  generated  domestically  is  50.1%.

    PART  1:  COMPANY  DESCRIPTION  AND  BACKGROUND         MICROSOFT  ANALYSIS  AND  VALUATION  PROJECT  |  2     Assets:  $40.1B   Nearly  half  of  the  company  assets  are  located  in  the  United  States  (44.0%),  while  the  rest  in   Finland  (24.5%),  Luxembourg  (17.2%),  and  other  countries  (14.2%).     Business  Risks  and  Outstanding  Litigation     • Execution  and  competitive  risks  brought  by  the  cloud-­‐based  computing  model.   Microsoft  is  in  its  transition  to  a  computing  environment  to  provide  cloud-­‐based  services   for  smart  devices.  The  company  has  to  invest  a  huge  amount  of  resources  in  software   development  and  infrastructure,  while  its  competitors  are  also  rapidly  developing  and   delivering  these  services  to  customers.  This  might  decrease  the  revenues  and  operating   margins  that  have  been  previously  achieved.    In  addition,  it  is  still  uncertain  whether  the   strategies  used  could  successfully  attract  customers  or  generate  required  revenue.  
  • 5.
    PART  1:  COMPANY  DESCRIPTION  AND  BACKGROUND         MICROSOFT  ANALYSIS  AND  VALUATION  PROJECT  |  3   • Intense  competition   Microsoft  faces  intense  competition  across  all  markets  for  its  products  services,  with   competitors  range  from  Fortune  100  companies  to  small  businesses.  Software  vendors  are   devoting  enormous  efforts  to  building  software  that  mimics  the  features  of  Microsoft   products  and  even  violates  its  intellectual  property  rights  and  then  sell  at  little  to  no  cost.   In  response  to  competition,  Microsoft  continues  to  develop  its  products  with  basic   functions  and  sell  them  at  lower  prices  than  the  standard  versions.  These  competitive   pressures  can  reduce  sales  volume,  price,  and  increase  operating  costs,  which  would   decrease  margins  and  revenues.   • Intellectual  property  rights   Protecting  intellectual  property  rights  globally,  especially  in  countries  where  laws  are  less   protective  of  these  rights,  is  challenging  and  Microsoft  might  now  be  able  to  adequately  do   this.    As  a  result,  this  problem  will  decrease  revenue  in  those  countries  and  hence,   negatively  affect  Microsoft’s  revenue  in  total.  In  addition,  the  company  needs  to  spend   more  money  and  efforts  to  educate  customers  and  lawmakers  about  the  benefits  of   promoting  licensing  products.   • Security  vulnerabilities   Hackers  might  develop  viruses  that  attack  Microsoft  products,  networks,  and  data  centers.   Even  though  this  is  an  industry-­‐wide  problem,  Microsoft  endures  the  highest  risk  since  it  is   one  of  the  most  popular  operating  systems.  The  company  might  also  experience  outages   and  data  losses  if  it  fails  to  implement  an  adequate  operations  infrastructure.

    PART  2:  BUSINESS  MODEL           MICROSOFT  ANALYSIS  AND  VALUATION  PROJECT  |  4   BUSINESS  MODEL     SWOT  Analysis     Strengths   –  Brand  loyalty  and  reputation:  globally,   Microsoft  has  always  been  the  most   popular  OS  and  software  provider  and   accounts  for  over  90%  of  market  share.   –  Simple  software:  Microsoft  products  are   easy  to  use  and  still  maintain  great  quality.   –  Strong  distribution  channels:  Microsoft   works  with  all  major  computer  hardware   producers  and  computer  retailers  to  sell   pre-­‐installed  Windows  software   computers.   –  Acquisition  of  Skype:  With  300  million   users,  Skype  boosts  Microsoft’s  online   presence  and  advertising.   –  Strong  hinancial  performance:  Increased   revenue  and  a  large  amount  of  cash  to  use   for  investments  and  acquisitions.   Weaknesses   –  Poor  investments  and   acquisitions:  Many  acquisitions   made  by  Microsoft  soon  fail  and   shut  down;  very  few  are   successful.   –  Security  hlaws:  Window  OS  is   the  least  protected  against  virus   attacks  compared  to  other  OS.   –  Mature  PC  and  mobile  markets:   Microsoft  only  entered  these   sectors  recently  and  thus,  will   grow  revenues  at  a  slower  rate   than  its  competitors.   –  Slow  to  innovate:  The  company   spends  many  resources  on  R&D   for  innovative  products,  but  for   the  most  part  has  failed  in  this   area.   Opportunities   –  Cloud  based  services:  Microsoft   has  the  resources  needed  to   develop  and  expand  its  cloud   computing  system    for  the   increasing  demand.   –  Mobile  industry:  Smartphones   and  tablets  markets  are  growing   fast,  Microsoft  can  utilize  this   opportunity  to  develop  its   devices  and  mobile  OS.   –  Acquisitions:  With  a  huge   amount  of  cash,  the  company  can   invest  and  acquire  startups  to   grow  bigger.   Threats   –  Intense  competition:  Microsoft  is  facing   many  competitors  such  as  Google  and   Apple  in  both  PC  and  mobile  OS.   –  Change  in  customers  habits:  Customers   are  shifting  to  mobile  markets,  in  which   Microsoft  just  enters  recently.   –  Lawsuits:  Microsoft  has  been  sued  and   lost  in  some  large  cases,  which  are   expensive.  If  the  company  does  not  come   up  with  solutions  in  a  timely  manner,  there   will  be  more  to  come.

    PART  2:  BUSINESS  MODEL           MICROSOFT  ANALYSIS  AND  VALUATION  PROJECT  |  5   Revenue  Drivers       Microsoft’s  revenue  is  increasing  and  reaches  $86.8  billion  in  FY  2014.  Commercial   Licensing  accounts  for  the  largest  proportion,  which  accounts  for  48.2%;  followed  by  D&C   Licensing  (21.6%),  D&C  Computing  and  Gaming  hardware  (11%),  Commercial  other   (8.8%).  D&C  –  Phone  hardware  segment  is  still  new  and  accounts  for  only  2.3%  of  the  total   revenue.     Expense  Drivers     Most  of  the  company  expenses  are  on  Cost  of  Goods  Sold  (31%),  Selling  and  Administrative   (23.8%),  and  R&D  (13.1%).   Although  revenue  growth  continues  to  increase  over  the  past  years,  gross  margin  is   gradually  decreasing  from  80.2%  in  2010  and  reaches  69%  in  2014.  This  trend  is  the  same   for  profitability  ratios.      
  • 8.
    PART  3:  RECENT  FINANCIAL  PERFORMANCE  ANALYSIS         MICROSOFT  ANALYSIS  AND  VALUATION  PROJECT  |  6   RECENT  FINANCIAL  PERFORMANCE  ANALYSIS           • Microsoft’s  growth  rates  over  the  last   ten  years  have  fluctuated   tremendously.  The  last  five  years  have   not  seen  a  great  change  either,  and  it   is  due  to  new  products  and  the   emphasis  that  the  company  puts  in  the   particular  sales.    An  example  would  be   the  sales  of  their  Surface  tablets,   which  sales  have  had  an  increase  of   24%  to  hit  $1.1B  in  the  most  recent   quarter  while  PC  sales  have  declined.     • Although  revenues  have  increased,   even  with  the  constantly  changing   growth  rates  over  the  last  several   years,  their  gross  profit  has  steadily   decreased  for  the  past  five  years  and   the  likelihood  of  that  trend  continuing   is  high  because  their  costs  continue  to   rise  with  new  developments  more   than  their  revenues.       • Microsoft’s  acquirement  of  Nokia’s   Cellphone  division  was  a  $243M   expense.  They  will  attempt  to  have  a   greater  impact  in  the  development  as   their  Windows  phones  have   drastically  lagged  the  competition   from  Samsung,  Apple,  and  other   cellphone  giants.  These  higher  initial   costs  cause  Microsoft’s  profit  to   decline  year  over  year.     • Long  Term  debt  has  more  than   quadrupled  from  2010  to  2014.  In   2014  alone  there  was  a  63.84%   increase  from  the  year  before.    This   could  be  because  Microsoft  is  taking   advantage  of  low  interest  rates  to   become  more  leveraged.    They  could   also  be  trying  to  reach  their  optimal   capital  structure  by  doing  so.   -­‐5%   0%   5%   10%   15%   20%   25%   2004   2006   2008   2010   2012   2014   2016   Growth  Over  Prior   Year   68.00%   70.00%   72.00%   74.00%   76.00%   78.00%   80.00%   82.00%   2009   2010   2011   2012   2013   2014   2015   Gross  ProRit   0   5000   10000   15000   20000   25000   2009   2010   2011   2012   2013   2014   2015   Long  Term  Debt

    PART  4:  PEER  GROUP  ANALYSIS           MICROSOFT  ANALYSIS  AND  VALUATION  PROJECT  |  7   PEER  GROUP  ANALYSIS     Comparative  Data     Microsoft  started  out  with  software  and  is  still  the  leading  OS  and  software  provider.   Microsoft  is  extremely  popular  for  its  Microsoft  Office  products  and  doesn’t  seem  to  have   any  big  competitors,  besides  possibly  Google  Docs.    Once  Microsoft  further  develops  its   cloud  computing  system,  it  will  be  in  a  better  position.    What  differentiates  Microsoft  is  that   its  products  are  simple  and  easy  to  use.  Together  with  its  long  history  of  Commercial   Licensing,  D&C  Licensing,  and  D&C  Computing  and  Gaming  hardware,  the  company  has   successfully  built  up  its  brand  loyalty  and  reputation.     Porter’s  Five  Forces       Industry   Rivalry:   Moderate   Threat  of  entrants:  Low   Microsoft  has  the  majority   share  of  operating  systems   now  and  it  can  take  years   and  many  resources  for  an   entrant  to  build  a   successful  OS.   Bargaining   power  of  Buyers:   Moderate   In  the  PC   segment,  the   power  is  low.   However,  in  the   game  and  mobile   segments,  the   power  is   relatively  high.   Threat  of   substitute:   Moderate   Threat  of   substiture  for   Windows  is  low;   threat  of  substitute   for  the  gaming   segment  is  high   with  two  potential   players  Sony  and   Nintendo.     Bargaining   power  of   Suppliers:  Low   Resoucres  that   Microsoft  needs   are  available   from  a  large   number  of  hirms.
