Top Value Stocks To Watch For 2019


Although a little too late, I believe I’ve found a pretty solid earnings prediction strategy for Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). Last quarter, the company predicted that gross margins would be down 100 basis points (bps). That statement alone should have told us MSFT would rally on this quarter’s earnings.

Why? Microsoft is one of those companies that beats expectations nearly every quarter. Nearly 85% of its quarterly EPS comes in as a surprise.

However, the stock does not rally on every beat. It only rallies when the previous quarter’s guidance was lowered. This is something us earnings traders should keep in mind for future earnings reports. For this reason, I’ll be keeping MSFT on my watchlist for use in Exposing Earnings.

In terms of the EPS update itself and its influence on our underlying expectations and valuation of the company, we are seeing a rebound. I use earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) divided by enterprise value (EV) as one of my main predictors of most types of companies. Studies have shown this predictor to be a statistically significant leading indicator for stock price.

    Microsoft  (MSFT) trades for 23 times a fiscal 2019 EPS consensus of $3.92. But the company’s near-term earnings are depressed by a shift in its revenue mix from up-front license sales to cloud subscriptions. Cash-flow multiples are lower: Microsoft’s enterprise value (market cap minus net cash) is equal to 17 times its fiscal 2019 free cash flow (FCF) consensus. The dividend yield is at 1.9%; as is the case for Apple, tax reform could motivate Microsoft to hike its dividend.
