In the latest trading session, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD - Free Report) closed at $27.33, marking a -1.87% move from the previous day. This move lagged the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.06%. At the same time, the Dow lost 0.1%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 0.1%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the chipmaker had gained 22.04% over the past month. This has outpaced the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 5.14% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.3% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from AMD as it approaches its next earnings release. The company is expected to report EPS of $0.05, down 54.55% from the prior-year quarter. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $1.26 billion, down 23.78% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $0.64 per share and revenue of $6.79 billion. These totals would mark changes of +39.13% and +4.82%, respectively, from last year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for AMD. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant within the past month. AMD is currently a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
Investors should also note AMD's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 43.23. This valuation marks a premium compared to its industry's average Forward P/E of 20.
It is also worth noting that AMD currently has a PEG ratio of 1.41. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account. The Electronics - Semiconductors industry currently had an average PEG ratio of 1.58 as of yesterday's close.
