Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) is an interesting player in the Technology space, with a focus on Business Software & Services.

You can get a sense of how sustainable that is by a levered free cash flow of $33.29 Billion over the past twelve months. Generally speaking, earnings are expected to grow in coming quarters. Analysts are forecasting earnings of $0.85 on a per share basis this quarter. Perhaps, that suggests something about why 5.97% of the outstanding share supply is held by institutional investors.
