$Microsoft(MSFT)$ At around 20 times forward earnings, Microsoft is basically back to 2016-type valuation levels, but the company's structure is very different today.
What stands out isn't just the multiple, but what's underneath it: Office as the default enterprise workflow layer, Windows still entrenched at scale, and Azure as a second (or potentially first) major cloud engine on top.
Management guiding toward over $500 billion in revenue by 2030 adds another compounding lens to the story, especially if margins stay structurally elevated from AI integration across the entire stack.
At this valuation, the debate isn't whether Microsoft is a "good company"—that's obvious. It's whether the market is underappreciating the durability of cash flows from its three separate, near-monopolistic ecosystems.
You don't often see this combination of scale, growth, and multiple compression in a single name for long.
