Micron screens cheaper than AMD on all three valuation measures provided. That alone doesn’t show which stock is the better investment.

Micron Technology and Advanced Micro Devices are both in the semiconductor industry group, but their valuation multiples differ sharply. Micron has the lower P/E, PEG and P/B. Both companies also have a Strong Buy analyst consensus in the supplied data. These figures are a starting point, not a complete picture of either business or its risks.

Investor takeaway: Micron has lower P/E, PEG and P/B multiples. That doesn’t prove its shares are undervalued, AMD’s are overvalued, or Micron will deliver better returns. These ratios depend on earnings, growth assumptions and book value. This snapshot doesn’t show how those inputs may change.

Micron is lower on all three supplied multiples

Micron’s P/E is 10.7, compared with 104.4 for AMD. Its PEG is 0.16 versus 0.48, and its P/B is 5.36 versus 10.46. These measures show relative valuation, not fair value or future performance.

Bull case

Micron’s lower multiples and reported TTM ROE of 88.3% may appeal to investors weighing valuation against recent profitability. But this snapshot doesn’t show whether that profitability will last.

Bear case

Low multiples don’t remove business or valuation risks. The snapshot lacks the context needed to assess how durable earnings are, how the companies may grow, or how market expectations could change.

How the valuation snapshot compares

Micron’s P/E of 10.7 is below AMD’s 104.4. Its PEG of 0.16 is also lower than AMD’s 0.48, as is its P/B of 5.36 compared with 10.46. Based on these three measures, Micron looks cheaper. But this is only a relative comparison, not a conclusion about intrinsic value. The snapshot doesn’t include the assumptions behind the ratios or show how either company’s results may develop.

Both companies have a Strong Buy analyst consensus in the supplied data. Analyst targets are US$1,561.91 for Micron and US$648.24 for AMD. These are analyst estimates, not guarantees of future share prices. See Micron’s stock page and AMD’s stock page for company-specific figures.

Price, size and profitability context

At the latest adjusted close on 2026-11-05, Micron traded at US$656.39 and had a market cap of US$899.7B. AMD’s adjusted close was US$404.40, with a market cap of US$797.9B. A lower share price doesn’t necessarily mean a stock is cheaper. Share count and company size matter too.

The snapshot reports TTM ROE of 88.3% for Micron and 10.2% for AMD. Their dividend yields are 0.07% and 0.00%, respectively. These figures add context, but don’t explain what drives profitability or whether it will last. Treat the multiples as one part of the comparison, not a verdict on either stock.
