The AM PE ratio is not a good comparison at the moment. At it's peak it was about 30% yield. But now all the people who bought in are just holding out of desperation rather than expecting a decent return.

AM shareholders are holding because of high expectations on return from gen3 hardware.
About yield, you're right - it was about 30%. That was I used in my post above.

I'd like to see the math on that, i'm pretty sure that if you take into account the btc price change and bought in at IPO of .1, the P/E is alot higher than 30%. the prices peaked at 4.5 to 5 BTC per share.

Found that post (P/E calculated on the actual share price, not IPO price):

With that kind of earnings, what kind of PE ratio are we looking at for the company ... in this industry?

If we use that yield to be 33% of the share price, that gives 0.27 btc/share
25% -- 0.36 btc/share

I googled PE ratio in general, and read that on average it's 20-25 times earnings.
Don't expect that for a company in bitcoin mining bussiness. Not yet. All ppl here are only for a quick profit.

PE ratio in this industry is about 3-4 times - if we look at data for ASICMiner:
15.07.2013 - share price: 4.5; divs: 0.025; projected per year: 1.3; PE: 3.5
15.08.2013 - share price: 3.9; divs: 0.021; projected per year: 1.1; PE: 3.5
09.09.2013 - share price: 2.2; divs: 0.014; projected per year: 0.7; PE: 3.1
