MSFT Stock Forecast: Microsoft Can Be A Profitable Vendor Of Surface Android Phones

Microsoft investors should applaud Satya Nadella’s decision to release Microsoft Surface-branded Android phones next year.
The Surface brand now covers smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers.
It was Nadella who killed the Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile smartphone business. However, he finally realized the smartphone is a key device for productivity.
After making good on his cloud-first initiative, Nadella now wants to fulfill his mobile-first vision for Microsoft.
You cannot fully implement a mobile-first approach to marketing your software products without risking it also on selling the computers for them.

Summary:

Nokia’s stock price has risen +22% since my last Buy recommendation for it last March.
I am still reiterating NOK as a buy. I like Nokia’s grand plan to be a leader in the $65 billion digital healthcare services industry.
The new multi-year patent licensing deal with Apple has long term benefits. Nokia can use the licensing/royalty fees to finance its expansion as a health monitoring gadgets/services provider.
Nokia could also use the licensing money from Apple to help advertise HMD Global’s Nokia-branded Android phones.
NOK has positive short and long-term algorithmic forecasts scores from I Know First. Now is the right time to go long on NOK.
