Analyst ratings for Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) were upped to “buy” today by FBR Capital Markets, believing that the stock was rated too far toward sell. The price target for MSFT was also raised to $32 from $31 as the computer giant has several strong new products in the pipeline through 2011.Negative investor sentiments, triggered by worries over Europe, led to a 20% decline in Microsoft shares over the past month.
