Page 2 of 2

Taking these factors into account, the high end of 2014’s EPS estimates of $0.4 to $0.44 seems quite achievable. Using a P/E of 15x we can calculate a target price in the range of $6 to $6.6 for the end of next year.

Bottom Line

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE:AMD) has suffered in the last few years due to the dominance of Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) and failing fortunes of the PC. The Jaguar APUs and gaming consoles have finally given AMD a chance to turn around its fortunes. The Temash APU can seriously challenge Intel’s ambitions to dominate the handheld industry.

Sony and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) are launching their new gaming consoles this year. Both devices have AMD hardware and a large fan following. Microsoft might face some revenue shortfalls with Xbox because the company has imposed a lot of restrictions that are not consumer-friendly, making Sony PS4 the console of choice. AMD will benefit in either case and offers a significant upside to current valuations.
