Upgrading to Overweight

We are upgrading Microsoft to Overweight as we assume coverage and reassess the company's long-term potential. Microsoft has successfully managed the cloud transition, and having materially expanded its addressable market in so doing, should now be a primary beneficiary as enterprises increasingly embrace the cloud. We forecast mid-teens EPS growth with upside risk from both Azure and Office, and expect the stock's multiple to at least be maintained, supporting a $125 YE19 PT.
