Microsoft Corporation

Abstract

This report is made for the sole purpose of giving the readers an introduction and an overview of the U.S. tech sector. The company I worked on is Microsoft Corporation. I’ve provided my views and my analysis of the financial position and other related factors of the companies. The report contains data from reliable sources and the analysis is purely my view and may vary from person to person. Talking about the tech market, U.S. is the largest tech market in the world. It represents around 32% of the world tech market. That translates to roughly $1.7 trillion (in 2020). All of the big five tech giants of the world – Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Google (Alphabet) belong to the U.S. Apple was the first public company to reach a market cap of $1 trillion in August 2018. Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet followed in reaching the $1 trillion mark with Alphabet reaching the milestone recently in January 2020. These five companies also make up 17.5% of the S&P 500 index. This report contains a detailed analysis of the company I’m working on – Microsoft. The report contains an analysis of the last few years’ financial results of the company. As a part of my internship project, I have also tried to forecast the future results of the company and to value the company from an investment point of view. All the details regarding the company’s financial results and annual reports were taken from the company’s websites itself.
