Advanced Micro Devices Has an Attractive P/B Ratio but a Worrisome P/E Ratio:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. operates as a semiconductor company worldwide. The company belongs to the Technology sector, which has an average price to earnings (P/E) ratio of 27.16 and an average price to book (P/B) ratio of 6.23. In contrast, Advanced Micro Devices has a trailing 12 month P/E ratio of 975.3 and a P/B ratio of 3.15.
