Microsoft is 'the highest quality company one can own': Analyst

With Wall Street at the center of a busy tech earnings cycle, investors may seek to identify tech stocks worth adding to their portfolios. Washington Crossing Advisors Senior Portfolio Manager and Co-Founder Chad Morganlander joins Market Domination for the latest edition of Good Buy or Goodbye, providing insight on the hottest tech plays.

Morganlander names Microsoft (MSFT) his "good buy," claiming it is the "highest quality company one can own," with its rising dividend payment to investors. He also cites its highly diversified AI strategy and subscription models, which lower earnings volatility.

The senior portfolio manager calls IBM (IBM) his "goodbye," claiming it is a lower-quality company with a high valuation for its debt. The infrastructure and consulting units of the company are also lagging, he adds.
