The creator compares Amazon (AMZN) and Microsoft (MSFT) as long-term investments, focusing on revenue growth, return on invested capital, and valuation. While both are rated as buys, Microsoft shows stronger current revenue growth and historical ROIC, whereas Amazon is expected to improve its ROIC due to increased data center investments. Valuation metrics provide mixed signals, with Microsoft appearing cheaper on a forward PE basis, but Amazon looking more undervalued by DCF.
