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 | $523.88 | $217.84 |
| Market cap | $3.89T | $179.28B |
| P/E ratio | 27.3 | 19.9 |
| ROE | 34.22% | 19.38% |
| Profit margin | 41.17% | 21.99% |
| Revenue growth | 18.80% | 10.80% |
| Dividend yield | 0.75% | 0.81% |
| Beta | 1.04 | 1.23 |
Green = the more favorable figure for that metric (lower P/E, higher ROE, margin, growth and yield). Not a recommendation.
