The recent sell-off in Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: MSFT) is a buying opportunity, managing director of Hummer Winblad Venture Partners Ann Winblad said Thursday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
What Happened: Microsoft fell more than 3% in after-hours trading after it reported third-quarter financial results Tuesday.
The company reported earnings of $1.95, beating the estimate of $1.78, and revenue of $41.71 billion, beating the estimate of $41.03 billion.
Winblad described Microsoft as a high-margin pure software play. The company is “at the beginning of a huge growth opportunity,” she said.
She told CNBC she didn’t understand the sell-off in the stock, adding that Microsoft is the stock to own long-term.
