GlobalFoundries Is Currently Fairly Valued:

Compared to the Technology sector's average of 27.16, GlobalFoundries has a trailing twelve month P/E ratio of 24.2 and, according to its EPS guidance of 3.19, an expected P/E ratio of 20.63. GlobalFoundries's PEG ratio is 0.15 based on its 157.8% annual average growth rate of historical and projected earnings per share. However, we believe that it is more prudent to calculate the PEG ratio using the broader market's 5-year expected EPS growth rate of 13.05%, because the growth rate implied by GlobalFoundries's past and expected EPS is probably not sustainable. This more prudent approach shows a PEG ratio of 1.85, which suggests that the company's shares are actually overvalued.

However, GlobalFoundries is likely undervalued in terms of its equity because its P/B ratio is 3.949 compared to its sector average of 6.23. However, the company's shares are now trading 101.18% above their fair value as expressed by Benjamin Graham's formula:

√(22.5 * EPS * book value per share) = √(22.5 * 2.62 * 18.16) = $32.72
