Is MSFT A Good Stock To Buy
MSFT是一支值得買入的好股票嗎
An investor or trader's decision to buy or sell a stock is unique to their time horizon and risk tolerance. Many typical investors evaluate earnings growth and valuation on a particular stock before making a decision.
投資者或交易者買入或賣出股票的決策取決於他們的投資時間和風險承受能力。許多普通投資者在做出決策之前會評估特定股票的收益增長和估值。
For example, for Microsoft, you'll notice that earnings in its last quarter grew 0.68%. As an investor, you'll want to decide whether that's better or worse than what you'd like to see among stocks in your portfolio.
例如，對於微軟，你會注意到上個季度的收益增長了0.68%。作爲投資者，你需要決定是比你希望在你的投資組合中看到的股票表現更好還是更差。
On the valuation side, Microsoft's price to earnings ratio – a measure of how much an investor pays for the company's earnings – has grown 0.73% in the current quarter when compared with last year. That places it below similar businesses like Oracle, ServiceNow and Palo Alto Networks in its sector. You'll need to decide whether that makes it more or less attractive based on how you think the company will perform over time.
在估值方面，微軟的市盈率（投資者爲公司盈利支付的金額的度量）在本季度同比去年增長了0.73%。這使得它在同行業中處於比Oracle、ServiceNow和palo alto networks更低的位置。您需決定該公司未來的表現，從而判斷它的吸引力是更高還是更低。
