P/E ratios for AMAT in the 1990s: 1991 13-24 (prices based on calendar year hi/lo) 1992 16-34 (eps based on October financial year) 1993 14-31 1994 14-20 1995 8-22 1996 7-13 1997 14-39 1998 39-76 1999 25-71 2000 16-48 current 19 (46/2.42) We currently are safely in the middle of the historic range. The P/E did bottom significantly lower during the 1996 decline. If you waited for a single digit P/E in the 1998 downturn however, you would have missed out. The 70 P/E's probably won't be seen again in this cycle--they were a sign of the overvalued tech sector and represented optimism seen early in a cycle.
