Advanced Micro Devices has growing revenues and increasing reinvestment in the business, low leverage, and generally positive cash flows. However, Advanced Micro Devices has slimmer gross margins than its peers, weak operating margins with a stable trend, and declining EPS growth.

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 $3.93, the company has a forward P/E ratio of 26.3. 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 3.03. 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.
