Is Advanced Micro Devices under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Advanced Micro Devices P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Advanced Micro Devices's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 101x. In other words, Advanced Micro Devices shares trade at around 101x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
However, Advanced Micro Devices's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the semiconductors industry or those of similar companies.
- NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US): 103.10
- Intel Corporation (INTC.US): 15.68
- Synopsys (SNPS.US): 60.32
- Analog Devices (ADI.US): 27.06
Advanced Micro Devices's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.9019. A PEG ratio below 1 can be interpreted as meaning the shares are not overvalued given the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Advanced Micro Devices's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Advanced Micro Devices's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
- NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US): 4.04
- Intel Corporation (INTC.US): 12.69
- Synopsys (SNPS.US): 1.85
- Analog Devices (ADI.US): 1.53
Advanced Micro Devices's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $4.7 billion (£3.8 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Advanced Micro Devices's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

- NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US): USD$7.1 billion
- Intel Corporation (INTC.US): USD$15.4 billion
- Synopsys (SNPS.US): USD$1.3 billion
