Better Buy: Microsoft vs. HP Inc.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and HP (NYSE: HPQ) are two of America's most iconic tech companies. Microsoft redefined personal computing with its Windows operating system and Office software, while HP grew from Silicon Valley's first tech start-up into one of the world's largest PC makers.
But over the past five years, Microsoft's stock has surged nearly 340% as HP's advanced less than 30%. Microsoft brought back the bulls with the growth of its cloud businesses under CEO Satya Nadella, while HP failed to excite investors by retaining its PC and printing businesses after splitting with Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) in 2015. Will that trend continue over the next few years?
