ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES INC vs TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED, two Semiconductors stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
Neither balance sheet gives the game away: AMD carries almost no debt at 0.05 to equity, Texas Instruments a heavier but comfortable 0.91, and both hold current ratios north of 2.7, the finances of companies built to outlast a downturn. The income statements diverge from there. TI's analog catalog earns a 37.5% operating margin and pays a 1.9% dividend; AMD earns 14.4% and pays nothing, its cash pointed at the accelerator fight. The market prices the difference in ambition, not in quality: 170.6 times AMD's current earnings against 48.8 times TI's. TI's price already assumes a demanding cycle; AMD's assumes a transformation.
