Let’s break it down based on some research I did while the market was closed yesterday:
Let’s look at profitability: with a current Operating Margin for Microsoft Corporation [MSFT] sitting at +33.96 and its Gross Margin at +65.81, this company’s Net Margin is now 31.70%. These measurements indicate that Microsoft Corporation [MSFT] is generating considerably more profit, after expenses are accounted for, compared to its market peers.
This company’s Return on Total Capital is 23.74, and its Return on Invested Capital has reached 19.90%. Its Return on Equity is 42.41, and its Return on Assets is 14.39. These metrics all suggest that Microsoft Corporation is doing well at using the money it earns to generate returns.

You’re not still reading this, you’re commenting something about “TL:DR which strike” and I actually copied the above paragraphs from an outdated article. This is not real DD and while I’m sure 90% of you have stopped reading — oh who am I kidding, 99% of you have stopped reading up until this point that literally nothing I type here matters.
The only substantial point you should take away from this is you need to buy MSFT calls and pump up the price this week because while my calls are expiring in April, I have no intention whatsoever in letting theta trap me in losses until then and I really need to get out of this position to make money in other places this week and next. Okay, back to the con.
Shares of Microsoft Corporation [MSFT], overall, appear to be a solid investment option, with Wall Street analysts expecting its price to rise considerably in the next 12 months. This company generates high value from the labor resources and other capital it has available, and while it has heavy Long-Term Debt to Equity, the majority of the metrics point to this investment being highly attractive.
As you can see, it’s the perfect time to buy MSFT calls.
