InvestorsObserver gives Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) a strong valuation score of 77 from its analysis. The proprietary scoring system considers the underlying health of a company by analyzing its stock price, earnings, and growth rate. AMD currently holds a better value than 77% of stocks based on these metrics. Long term investors focused on buying-and-holding should find the valuation ranking system most relevant when making investment decisions.
Metrics Analysis
AMD has a trailing twelve month Price to Earnings (PE) ratio of 38.9. The historical average of roughly 15 shows a poor value for AMD stock as investors are paying higher share prices relative to the company's earnings. AMD's high trailing PE ratio shows that the firm has been trading above its fair market value recently. Its trailing 12-month earnings per share (EPS) of 2.06 does not justify the stock's current price. However, trailing PE ratios do not factor in the company's projected growth rate, resulting in many newer firms having high PE ratios due to high growth potential enticing investors despite inadequate earnings.
AMD currently has a 12-month-forward-PE-to-Growth (PEG) ratio of 1.47. The market is currently overvaluing AMD in relation to its projected growth due to the PEG ratio being above the fair market value of 1. AMD's PEG comes from its forward price to earnings ratio being divided by its growth rate. Because PEG ratios include more fundamentals of a company's overall health with additional focus on the future, they are one of the most used valuation metrics by analysts.
Summary
All together these valuation metrics paint a pretty poor picture for AMD at its current price due to a overvalued PEG ratio despite strong growth. The PE and PEG for AMD are worse than the average of the market resulting in a valuation score of 77.
