Original Reddit post

Bullish MSFT thesis arguing its contracted revenue, cash position, and switching costs make it a stable long-term compounder despite CapEx and regulatory concerns.

MSFT — LONG The author argues Microsoft's $392B contracted revenue is 6.5x its annual infrastructure spend, making the heavy CapEx narrative overblown. Switching costs in Azure and Teams create a moat, and Consumer Cloud revenue grew 26% while subscribers grew only 7%, showing pricing power. With $102B cash, even a $28.9B IRS loss is manageable, and regulation acts as a moat. At 30-33x P/E, the author sees it as a set-and-forget digital utility.

At a 30-33x P/E, you’re buying a digital utility with a growth engine that hasn't even hit top gear yet.
