Better Buy: Cisco Systems, Inc. vs. Microsoft
Based on stock performances year to date, the question of which is the better buy, Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) or Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), would seem to be a no-brainer. Cisco is in the midst of a transition away from its legacy switches and routers -- which still drive the majority of revenue -- to cloud-based data centers, security, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Investors haven't exactly thrown in the towel on Cisco, though its stock price is up just 4% in 2017.
As for Microsoft, its transformation consists of dominating cutting-edge new markets including the software-as-a-service (SaaS) cloud wars, developing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) analytic solutions, and commercial augmented reality (AR) technologies. Both Cisco and Microsoft are making significant progress in their respective efforts, but which one gets the nod as the better buy?
