MSFT: Financial Analysis through June 2008 (Update)

When we analyzed Microsoft's preliminary financial statements for the quarter and fiscal year that ended on 30 June 2008, we promised to issue an update after reviewing the formal 10-K annual report.

The review did not change the GCFR gauge scores, which are repeated below, nor did it comparison of the fourth fiscal quarter's Income Statement to our expectations.  Readers interested in this analysis are referred to our earlier posting.

• Cash Management: 10 of 25 (unchanged from the March quarter)
  
• Growth: 16 of 25 (down from 20)
  
• Profitability: 13 of 25 (down from 15)
• Value: 18 of 25 (up from 15)
  

• Overall: 59 of 100 (up from 58)

The current price of Microsoft common shares is a little above the quarter-end price of $27.51.  However, the increase isn't enough to dent the good value we see in these shares.
