It may be time for investors to start shopping for discounted stocks. It might surprise some to find that Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) is on the metaphorical clearance rack in relation to its cohort of Magnificent 7 stocks. In fact, MSFT stock is within about 10% of its 52-week low caused by the tariff turmoil in early 2025.
And it’s not just price; there’s a valuation issue to consider. As of this writing, MSFT stock trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of approximately 23X earnings. That puts it at a discounted level not seen since 2022.
