Edit: The PE here is forward not trailing pe.

Meta just reported and for the 3rd time in a row its down after earnings. The company reported 33% overall y/y revenue growth the company is expected to do 125+ billion in revenue this year. Q1 2026 was $10.44 EPS, assuming earnings growth slows in the year at $30 yearly EPS the stock is trading around 20-21 times. Paying this much for a company that owns products used by 3.5 billion people seems reasonable to me.

MSFT on the other hand is expected to do 325 billion in revenue and had an EPS of $4.27 at $16 EPS for the year the stock is trading at roughly 25 times. Expensive than META but I find it hard to believe that Microsoft office is getting replaced anytime soon. Even if it does, Azure growth is still there and Azure cloud will benefit from increased AI used.

In fact, I would like to argue that MSFT software is even more valuable now than before due to security issues. Linux being open source has way more vulnerabilities than Microsoft Windows same will be true for other open source or Microsoft office substitute softwares. Lastly, substitutes in fact very good substitutes of Microsoft office in the form of LibreOffice have existed for a long time now but companies haven’t switched to them indicating the moat remains.

Risk reward to me is in favour of buying these two. Critique welcomed.
