By Alex · Tickerpine
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. vs International Business Machines Corporation, side by side — the numbers that matter, in plain English. No “winner” hype; you decide.
| Metric | AMD | IBM |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $534.06 | $247.13 |
| Market cap | $875.91B | $233.57B |
| P/E ratio | 114.1 | 21.1 |
| ROE | 11.96% | 34.77% |
| Profit margin | 16.77% | 15.99% |
| Revenue growth | 44.70% | 4.70% |
| Dividend yield | 0.00% | 2.74% |

Green = the more favorable figure for that metric (lower P/E, higher ROE, margin, growth and yield). Not a recommendation.
