Having learnt a similar bitter lesson in an erstwhile blue chip software stock that suddenly fell from grace in a micro second, I disagree. As soon as there is even half a whiff of growth slowing, expect a -200 day in AMD, last week's volatility is only a harbinger of things to come...Current TRAILING PE, which is an important distinction. The trailing PE is high because earnings are rising quickly. Current FORWARD PE is 25-33 depending on which estimates and projections you're using. Current S&P500 forward PE is around 22, which means AMD isn't richly valued. Investors aren't interested in what you made in the past, they're interested in what they think you can make in the future, and by that measure, they're cautiously optimistic on AMD, not euphoric.
