Opinion:
Microsoft Corporation is currently trading higher today after reporting earnings yesterday. The company beat expectations slightly and was able to report some stronger compared to last year. The main reason for the increase in stock price has to do with the fact that cloud growth grew this past quarter for Microsoft. This is a win for investors, as Microsoft is in tough competition against other cloud businesses like Amazon, etc. They are currently on track to finish their best day of trading in the past two years. I love how they were able to pretty much increase every important financial category by almost double digits compared to last year. Although this year has been the fall of some of the tech stocks, Microsoft is attesting too that by reporting a strong earnings report like this. Personally, I do not have any position in Microsoft, but have always had my eye on them. Microsoft is such a huge company with some many different sectors built in under it by their subsidiaries. They are a company that is going to stay around for a while, that's for sure. They are off a tiny bit from their all time highs they reached last October. However, if you look at the max chart for them, it seems as if this company has nothing but growth over the years. I love the business model they possess and look for them to continue operating in the manner they do. If that is the case, this could be a stock to buy and hold for some awesome upside over the next 5-10+ years.

Weekly Earnings Review: October 16, 2023- October 20, 2023

      Well earnings season is finally among us, so we will start producing more beefier blog posts and cover a lot more companies over these next few weeks. I had one company report last week that I decided to throw into this weeks post, because I felt that it was pointless to make a post with just one boring company. With the inclusion of that company, we will cover 7 companies that report earnings this week and will give your our thoughts and opinions on how they performed during the quarter and the outlook. There is a lot of controversy going on with a war breaking out in Israel and the House of Representatives with out a speaker. This year seems to be the year of how geopolitics affect the market. There seems to be a lot of confusion with the outlook of the market right now, but inflation numbers still look to be fair and the earnings of major companies will be able to tell us a little bit more about where this is headed.  Thursday, October 12, 2023 Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA)-
