P&amp;#x2F;E can appear arbitrarily high&amp;#x2F;low depending on what the company is optimizing for. A realistic &amp;quot;terminal margin&amp;quot; is pretty similar between like-kind businesses, so you can somewhat assume what it will be in the long run and apply that to projected revenues.&lt;p&gt;Price to Sales: (TTM revenues)&lt;p&gt;NVDA: 37x&lt;p&gt;AMD:   8x&lt;p&gt;TSLA:  8x&lt;p&gt;TSM:   7x&lt;p&gt;AAPL:  7x&lt;p&gt;GOOG:  6x&lt;p&gt;QCOM:  3x</text><parent_chain><item><author>alberth</author><text>Wow, 213x P&amp;#x2F;E ratio.&lt;p&gt;To put this into context with other large tech companies:&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;                 P&amp;#x2F;E    MARKET CAP
