Meanwhile some microcaps are selling at three to eight times trailing earnings, little or no debt, lots of cash, revenues and/or earnings still growing, and in a good position to benefit from increasing adoption of new technology!
Statistical analysis of historical p/e for averages may be pertinent if you are trading index funds, but some companies have a brighter future than the average. My concern is how does AMAT stack up against some of the growing babies? Is a growing microcap with a single digit p/e more likely to double than a gorilla at twenty
times?
