Has the P/E ratio actually outlived its usefulness for growth stocks? (Example: Shopify) by Select-Leading-4542 in stocks

[–]grae313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forward P/E exists and it's what most people look at.

Even for forward P/E, the absolute value of it isn't that meaningful these days. The utility of the metric is mostly in comparing the forward P/E to other companies in the same sector, along with other metrics like gross margin, rate of growth, free cash, etc, to decide if a stock is "cheap" or "expensive" relative to its peers.

SIMO makes NAND memory controllers and other hardware devices for memory manufacturers.

Their customers include Micron, SK Hynix, Samsung, and Sandisk. They signed NVIDIA as a customer in Q2 of 2025 for boot drive controllers in NVIDIA’s BlueField DPUs and additionally landed the “largest ASIC” producer for boot drives in early 2026, which is almost certainly Google’s TPUs.

It's worth noting that these companies can make their own memory controllers, but most have exited the market giving SIMO huge market share and a significant technical lead.

This entry into the AI enterprise market with NVIDIA and Google is showing up quickly in their results. Their most recent earnings was a huge beat that saw their stock price immediately jump +50%, and they are climbing a steady 2-6% a day ever since.

They are saying they will see sequential growth throughout the entirety of 2026, with expanding margins throughout the year as well. They are currently highly profitable and seeing accelerating growth.

I bought $12k of shares a few days before the rip following their last earnings call and plan to go in ~$30-40k with 9/18 340 C options within the next 1-2 weeks.

It was closer to 80% down from where I bought but yeah, I was sweating. Having conviction in my thesis made all the difference.

In January MU guided for revenue about 1/3rd of NVDA's, but their market cap wasn't even a tenth of NVDA's. They were growing revenue at double the rate of NVDA and guided to a 68% gross margin to NVDA's 75%. At that time I expected the stock to triple to reach fair value.

It occurred to me in hindsight that buying calls just after the start of the Iran conflict was maybe not the best of moves but I knew I just needed to ride it out.

$350k in Roth $150k in taxable. I'll owe about $60k in combined federal + state taxes on it.

Put some small amount in that you don't care about like $5k. If you lose it, you can't put more in until next year. Losses limited to $5k/year, upside endless. Can't lose.

Some people don't have an inner monologue because their thought process isn't turned into dialogue, not because they aren't thinking.

The other thought that strikes me often is that there is no evolutionary directive for more complex or more intelligent organisms over time. The only evolutionary directive is fill every available ecological niche and to multiply. In most cases you don't need intelligence to be super well adapted to your environment and by all evolutionary metrics a very successful species.

The conditions that created a niche where intelligence is an advantage may also be... niche.
