This is honestly a pretty clean long-term example of what Peter Lynch used to talk about. He always said price and earnings don't drift apart forever; over time, they move together.
If you just zoom out on Microsoft, it's pretty obvious: earnings have compounded steadily for years, and the stock follows that same long arc, even through ugly drawdowns. Every dip eventually gets "explained" by earnings catching up.
That's really the core idea here—not that price is perfect in the short term, but that long-term it tends to respect the earnings curve. $Microsoft(MSFT)$ is basically what happens when execution stays consistent for decades while sentiment keeps swinging back and forth.
