New York (aktiencheck.de AG) - Walter H. Pritchard, Analyst der Citigroup, stuft die Aktie von Microsoft (ISIN US5949181045/ WKN 870747) unverändert mit "buy" ein.

Die Quartalszahlen hätten sich im Rahmen der Erwartungen bewegt.
Das Firmenkundengeschäft zeige zwar noch Schwächen. Die Leitindikatoren zur Softwarenachfrage würden aber beginnen sich zu drehen.
Die anhaltende Kostendisziplin sei positiv hervorzuheben. Das Windows 7-Momentum setze sich offenbar unvermindert fort.
Die soliden Trends sollten die Gewinnentwicklung antreiben. Die EPS-Schätzungen seien für 2010 und 2011 auf 2,07 USD sowie 2,34 USD angehoben worden.
Das Kursziel werde von 32,00 auf 37,00 USD heraufgesetzt, was einem 2011er KGV von 16 entspreche.

Vor diesem Hintergrund bestätigen die Analysten der Citigroup ihre Kaufempfehlung für die Aktie von Microsoft. (Analyse vom 23.04.10) (23.04.2010/ac/a/a)
