Another Take On Valuation

That 16.2% upside case looks compelling, but the earnings multiple tells a different story. MACOM trades on a P/E of 101.3x, well above the US Semiconductor industry at 39.6x and peers at 41.8x, and also above a fair ratio of 39.3x. This points to valuation risk if sentiment cools.
