MSFT vs CRM
By Alex · Tickerpine
Microsoft Corporation vs Salesforce, Inc., side by side — the numbers that matter, in plain English. No “winner” hype; you decide.
| Metric | MSFT | CRM |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $509.22 | $227.27 |
| Market cap | $3.78T | $187.04B |
| P/E ratio | 28.7 | 20.8 |
| ROE | 34.04% | 19.38% |
| Profit margin | 40.30% | 21.99% |
| Revenue growth | 17.70% | 10.80% |
| Dividend yield | 0.77% | 0.77% |
| Beta | 1.11 | 1.20 |
Green = the more favorable figure for that metric (lower P/E, higher ROE, margin, growth and yield). Not a recommendation.
