Better Bear Market Buy: Meta Platforms vs. Microsoft
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) have each seen valuation pullbacks in conjunction with bearish trends shaping the broader market. Even with strong business performance, Microsoft's share price is down roughly 33% from its high. Meanwhile, Meta Platforms faces more pronounced operating headwinds and it saw a much more precipitous valuation contraction -- the social-media giant's stock is off roughly 65% from its peak level.
Which one of these technology stocks stands out as the better buy at today's prices? Read on to see why two Motley Fool contributors have differing takes on which would be the best one to put your money behind.
Keith Noonan: Through a cloud and subscription-focused transformation initiated by CEO Satya Nadella, Microsoft built an incredible recurring-revenue foundation. While the company isn't completely immune to periods in which macroeconomic headwinds shape the broader industry backdrop, the software giant has a sturdy sales base and should continue to be one of the strongest overall companies in the tech sector.
