| Microsoft tops analysts' expectations in Q2 as cloud revenue soars 46% Posted: 26 Jan 2022 06:03 AM PST Revenue: $51.7 billion versus $50.9 billion expected Earnings per share: $2.48 versus $2.31 expected Intelligent Cloud: $18.3 billion versus $18.3 billion expected Productivity & Business Processes: $15.9 billion versus $15.9 billion expected More Personal Computing: $17.4 billion versus $16.7 billion expected Shares of Microsoft were off more than 3% following the announcement. While the company reported that Azure and other cloud services revenue grew by 46%, that was slightly down from Q1 when Microsoft reported 50% growth in the category. "As tech as a percentage of global GDP continues to increase, we are innovating and investing across diverse and growing markets, with a common underlying technology stack and an operating model that reinforces a common strategy, culture, and sense of purpose," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a statement. Microsoft, which was named Yahoo Finance's Company of the Year for 2021 due to its impressive stock performance and cloud business, has seen its stock price slide as of late. Shares have fallen from a Nov. 15 high of $343.11 per share to $291.52 at the market open on Tuesday. [link] [comments] |
| S&P500 vs US Small Cap Historical Returns Posted: 26 Jan 2022 12:16 AM PST I'm trying to get into investing after being terrible with money for the start of my adult life. I'm 30 now and realize the need for serious planning. I have read The Little Book of Common Sense Investing by John Bogle which seems to summarize down to, leave your money in an S&P500 fund, keep paying into it until you are ready to retire, take profits out only at retirement. The data presented in the book was quite compelling which had me thinking if an S&P500 ETF was the optimal choice in long term investing. I started looking into historical returns, going back from the early 50s to the end of 2019 before the pandemic started. What I found out from these 70 years of returns was that although the S&P500 is an incredible investment long term, investing specifically in US Small Cap stocks would yield over double the returns over the same time period. Someone please tell me if I'm incorrect because I'm still new to all this, but assuming that is correct, would it not be ideal to focus on small cap US stocks? Obviously the big drawback is the increased volatility of small caps (S&P500 has been winning out in the recent short-term), but with a longer time horizon I feel like this is the way to go to optimize returns. What are your thoughts? [link] [comments] |
