Apr 10, 2013 (SmarTrend(R) News Watch via COMTEX) -- Below are the three companies in the Semiconductors industry with the highest price to earnings (P/E) ratios. P/E is an important valuation tool when comparing companies in the same industry. A higher P/E ratio means that investors are paying more for each unit of net income, so the stock is more expensive compared to one with a lower P/E ratio.Integrated Device Technology ranks highest with a a P/E ratio of 90.75. ON Semiconductor is next with a a P/E ratio of 64.38. Supertex ranks third highest with a a P/E ratio of 60.41.



Monolithic Power Systems follows with a a P/E ratio of 60.21, and Entropic Communications rounds out the top five with a a P/E ratio of 56.71.
