Approach 1: Advanced Micro Devices Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

A Discounted Cash Flow model estimates what a company might be worth by projecting its future cash flows and then discounting those back to today in $ terms. For Advanced Micro Devices, this is done using a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach, which models a higher growth phase followed by a steadier phase.

Advanced Micro Devices currently reports last twelve months free cash flow of about $8.7b. Analyst sourced and extrapolated projections see free cash flow reaching $44.1b in 2030, with interim years guided by a mix of analyst estimates and Simply Wall St extensions. Each of these projected cash flows is discounted to reflect the time value of money and risk, then summed to arrive at an estimated equity value per share.

On this basis, the DCF model suggests a fair value of about $360.63 per share, compared with the recent share price of $532.57. That implies the stock screens as around 47.7% above this intrinsic value estimate, so the DCF output points to a rich valuation at current levels.

Result: OVERVALUED

Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests Advanced Micro Devices may be overvalued by 47.7%. Discover 43 high quality undervalued stocks or create your own screener to find better value opportunities.

Approach 2: Advanced Micro Devices Price vs Sales

For profitable companies like Advanced Micro Devices, price based multiples can help you gauge what investors are paying for each dollar of the business. The preferred metric here is the P/S ratio, which compares the company’s market value with its revenue and is often used for high growth or higher margin sectors where earnings can be more volatile.

In general, higher growth expectations and lower perceived risk can support a higher “normal” or “fair” multiple, while slower expected growth or higher risk usually call for a lower one. Advanced Micro Devices currently trades on a P/S of 23.19x, compared with the Semiconductor industry average of 8.86x and a peer average of 19.92x.

Simply Wall St’s Fair Ratio is a proprietary estimate of what a suitable P/S multiple might be for Advanced Micro Devices, given factors such as its earnings growth profile, industry, profit margins, market cap and risk characteristics. For AMD, this Fair Ratio stands at 38.94x, which provides a more tailored benchmark than simple industry or peer comparisons because it adjusts for those company specific factors. Since the current P/S of 23.19x is well below the Fair Ratio, this approach suggests the stock screens as undervalued on a sales multiple basis.

Result: UNDERVALUED
