$AAPL vs $AMD: Apple Takes the Edge

$AAPL wins this comparison on quality and risk-adjusted fundamentals, though $AMD makes a compelling growth case.

Growth clearly belongs to $AMD: revenue up 37.8% YoY versus $AAPL's 16.6%, and earnings surging 91.2% against $AAPL's 21.8%. That momentum is real, and $AMD's perfect 100 growth score reflects it.

Valuation is where $AMD stumbles. A trailing P/E of 155.2 and EV/EBITDA of 97.53 price in enormous execution. $AAPL at a trailing P/E of 37.4 and EV/EBITDA of 28.10 is not cheap, but it's a far more defensible multiple given its 27.2% net margin versus $AMD's 13.4%.

Quality seals it for $AAPL. A quality score of 92 versus $AMD's 52, combined with $AAPL's D/E of 79.55 (high but backed by its $4.54T market cap and cash generation) versus $AMD's leaner 6.00, reflects a business with durable, high-margin earnings. $AAPL's analyst target of $308.65 sits just below its current $309.44 price — essentially fairly valued, with limited downside risk.

$AMD is the higher-upside bet. $AAPL is the stronger business at a reasonable price.
