3 Reasons to Buy Microsoft, And 1 Reason to Sell

Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) stock price hit an all-time high after the tech giant posted its first-quarter report on Tuesday, Oct. 26. Its revenue rose 22% year over year to $45.3 billion, beating analysts' estimates by $1.3 billion. Its adjusted earnings grew 25% to $2.27 per share, which cleared expectations by $0.19.

For the second quarter, Microsoft expects its revenue to rise 16%-18% year over year, which also surpasses analysts' expectations for 14% growth.

Microsoft's numbers were impressive, but some investors might be reluctant to buy its stock after its price has already risen nearly 50% this year. Let's review three reasons to buy Microsoft's stock -- as well as one reason to sell it -- to see if it's still a compelling investment at these prices.
