Microsoft (MSFT) seems a bargain. The company, which announces earnings on April 28, more than $ 40 million in cash and cash equivalents, a lock on the market for personal computer operating systems and profit margins that most companies would envy. The stock had a price / earnings ratio of about-11 on 26 April and 29 percent less than the PE in the Standard & Poor 500-stock's 15.5. No wonder that 26 of the 34 analysts covering the note to "buy", according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
But the stock is fixed. It closed at 26 on April 26 a price that first crossed in 1998 and close to the average of 27 since early 2001. For 10 years until April 22, shares produced a total return of -7 percent while the S & P 500 returned 30 percent. For all its apparent brightness, Microsoft suffers from an identity crisis. It is not considered a growth company because it did not come up with successful new products to rapidly produce profit-taking, how Apple (AAPL) a. And with a yield of 2.4 per cent, is not donating money enough to satisfy investors value. Microsoft is in danger of being a value trap, a stock that always seems to be selling for less than it is worth.

Although the company has returned 170 billion U.S. dollars to investors in buybacks and dividends over the last decade, some investors want more. Jackson said that last summer pushed Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Peter Klein to increase the quarterly dividend population of at least five times what the company finally decided, up 3 cents to 16 cents per share on 21 September. "I said it was necessary to awaken to shareholders the value of one share of high performance, and Microsoft," says Jackson.

Parts of Microsoft's market in its main business areas are stable or increasing, and sales, margins and profits and good growth. We believe that strong growth in Serbian for Microsoft. "
Ironfire Jackson is not buying that argument. "They should have their strength in cash," he said. "And I do not intend to remain a growth company."
