Source: Shutterstock Key Insights Advanced Micro Devices’ estimated fair value is US$95.7 based on 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Current share price of US$74.9 suggests Advanced Micro Devices is 22% undervalued In this article we are going to estimate the intrinsic value of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ( NASDAQ:AMD ) by projecting its future cash flows and then discounting them to today’s value. The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model is the tool we will apply to do this. Don’t get put off by the jargon, the math behind it is actually quite straightforward. Remember though, that there are many ways to estimate a company’s value, and a DCF is just one method. If you still have some burning questions about this type of valuation, take a look at the Simply Wall St analysis model . The Calculation We use what is known as a 2-stage model, which simply means we have two different periods of growth rates for the company’s cash flows. Generally the first stage is higher growth, and the second stage is a lower growth phase. In the first stage we need to estimate the cash flows to the business over the next ten years. […]
An Oft-Overlooked Sales Opportunity
Amid increasing signs that a slowdown in the economy is at hand, dealers should look to women, especially those who fish, in their plans to ride out the storm. So says a report from the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation that has been advancing industry interests for more than two decades with research data, market promotion and much more. In a nutshell: If in the past fishing was primarily viewed as a guy thing, that boat has left dock. RBFF’s 2022 study — conducted with global market-research firm Ipsos — identified women as composing 37% of all anglers, the largest share on record. Some 2.8 million more female anglers hit the water in 2021 than in the five previous years, and 3.8 million more than a decade ago. Women anglers in 2021 undertook a total of 288 million fishing trips. Yet the research also revealed women continue to face adversity and underrepresentation in the fishing community. For example, almost half of female anglers indicate they do not feel respected by the angling community, and a whopping 77% don’t see themselves represented in advertising for fishing gear and apparel. While the study doesn’t directly address dealer initiatives toward women anglers, […]

Why Analysts Are Pointing to a Big Opportunity in Silver
Peruse the list for unusual activity in the derivatives market for the midweek session and you might see an intriguing name pop up: Silvercrest Metals ( SILV ). Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Silvercrest specializes in precious metal exploration and production. Primarily, it focuses operations on its Las Chispas Mine, in Sonora, Mexico, where studies indicate that it ranks among the highest-grade primary silver projects globally . Fundamentally, this status should unequivocally represent good news. Back when the COVID-19 crisis first capsized the U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve responded with an unprecedented injection of liquidity into the monetary system. And following the recovery from the spring doldrums of 2020, both SILV stock and the underlying silver market rebounded strongly. Unfortunately, since late 2020 through the middle of 2021, silver prices largely went rangebound. From there, silver incurred a decidedly bearish downtrend. Still, it appears that the white metal bottomed late last year. And across the last several weeks, SILV stock and the underlying asset took a bullish turn. Indeed, commodities expert Thomas Bills points out that silver actually bottomed in August 2022. Further, the analyst doesn’t see any signs of the metal slowing down . In fact, Bills wrote, […]

One line of effort within UCS is enabling certification efficiency through digital models. As more programs within the DoD embrace digital models, the complexity and quantity of data needing to be processed through the certification pipeline will increase. The certification process requires timely input and assessment of underlying engineering to assist the certification teams, […]
