Margins LTM [06/02/26]:
- Gross margin: ≈ 68.6%
- Operating margin: ≈ 46.7%
- EBITDA margin: ≈ 57.3%
- Net margin: ≈ 39.1%
- ROIC: ≈ 23.1%
- Debt Net / EBITDA: ≈ 0.2x

Insights:
- P/S ratio near to 12x, currently it is in line with the average
- EV/EBITDA ratio near to 19x, more or less with the median
- PER ratio near to 25x, the lowest level in years
- Stagnation in FCF for a 2-year sample
- Slightly slowdown in EPS growth YoY
- Acceptable and strong margins and ROIC

Based on its last EPS [06/02/26 TTM] of ≈ $16.05 USD and a 30 Forward PER and a sensibility of ± 0.2255x annual, a hypothetical spread could be (ceteris paribus):
- High: ≈ $ 590.1 USD
- Neutral: ≈ $ 481.5 USD
- Down: ≈ $ 372.9 USD

Hypothesis

MSFT in the next >12 (perhaps 16) months, might have a strong distribution phase above ≈ $520 MXN and a strong accumulation phase below ≈ $395 MXN where there is a bullish bias due to its revaluation probabilities and other quantitative parameters
:::> It could be an acceptable risk to take

Hedge plan example:
- Call [sell]: $660 MXN
- Call [sell]: $520 MXN
- Put [sell]: $395 MXN
- Put [sell]: $300 MXN

Risks
- Prices higher than $520 for a long time
- Prices lower than $395 for a long time.
- The neutral price of ≈ $457.5 is not reached at expiration
- Roll over costs (if time is not well estimated)


The best analysis is yours!
