Advanced Micro Devices has exceptional EPS growth, a pattern of improving cash flows, and an excellent current ratio. However, the firm suffers from slimmer gross margins than its peers and weak operating margins with a positive growth rate. Finally, we note that Advanced Micro Devices has weak revenue growth and a flat capital expenditure trend and an average amount of debt.

Advanced Micro Devices does not have a meaningful trailing P/E ratio since its earnings per share are currently in the red. Based on its EPS guidance of $4.16, the company has a forward P/E ratio of 25.4. In comparison, the average P/E ratio for the Technology sector is 27.16. On the other hand, the market is undervaluing Advanced Micro Devices in terms of its equity because its P/B ratio is 3.08. In comparison, the sector average is 6.23. In conclusion, Advanced Micro Devices's impressive cash flow trend, decent P/B ratio, and reasonable use of leverage demonstrate that the company may still be fairly valued — despite its elevated earnings multiple.
