Revenue growth of 34.3% outpaces the sector median by +177%, and EPS expanded 165.0% year over year—both well ahead of the technology median. Free cash flow jumped 249.4%, a sign that profit translates into cash rather than accounting entries alone. The F-Score of 7/9 reflects stable operations: profitability is solid, and the balance sheet carries no new debt or share dilution. Yet valuation tells a different story. The P/E sits at 117.0×, +174% above the sector median, and EV/EBITDA stands at 177.0×, +407% richer. Consensus models earnings growth aligned with the realized three-year track record—a rare alignment—and the forward PEG reads as reasonable. The tension is plain: strong growth and cash generation meet a price that already reflects years of expansion, leaving little room for disappointment.

Quarter-by-quarter classification · a retrospective read by the current logic · not a price forecast
Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. The method did not see these quarters in real time; this is the current logic applied to past reports.
The market prices in earnings growth; analyst sentiment is steady; has mostly beaten consensus.
Price against next year's expected earnings. The forward P/E already carries analyst optimism — read it alongside the “Versus consensus” line.
A forward P/E below the current one means the market expects earnings to grow; above it, to fall. The historical growth is realized figures from SEC filings, not a forecast.
The three-month change in the share of positive analyst ratings. This is sentiment, not an earnings-estimate revision, and not a call to act.
When AMD reports on 2026-11-02, track whether revenue growth holds above the sector median pace of 12.4% year over year and whether EPS growth sustains its current 31.1% rate. Also check if FCF growth — now running at 25.7%, roughly 9.7× the sector median — is narrowing or widening. A compression in any of these three figures would shift the valuation math on a P/E of 42.7× and EV/EBITDA of 34.9×.
In the annual report's Management Discussion section, look for how AMD characterizes its gross margin trajectory and any concentration risk among its top customers. With EV/EBITDA at 5.1× the sector median, the premium rests heavily on sustained execution — the risk factors section will show what management itself flags as threats to that execution.
From the alphabetical same-sector table in section 06, pick two or three companies yourself and line up one metric — EV/EBITDA or P/E works well given AMD's readings of 34.9× and 42.7× respectively. No entry in that table is ranked, so the exercise is to place AMD's multiples in context rather than to identify a preferred alternative.

A sample of 16 companies in the sector including the target, alphabetical, unranked. Data from the latest SEC annual reports.
Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice.
A simplified retrospective read: no analyst forecast (not available historically); the source is the annual report as of the date, so neighbouring quarters can rest on the same data. Quarters with the same classification in a row are merged into one row — each row is one change in the read, not a separate quarter. One ticker is an illustration of the classification logic, not statistics. How we calculate →
The last few quarters are recent context, not a fixed rate. Consensus for near quarters is set low, so companies clear it routinely; over long horizons the forecasts run the other way, too high.
A description of what the market and analysts expect. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. Analyst forecasts run systematically optimistic over long horizons — read them with that discount.
