AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) transformed from a company near bankruptcy in 2015 to a semiconductor powerhouse. Under CEO Dr. Lisa Su (since 2014), AMD stock surged from $2 to over $150, delivering returns exceeding 7,500% in under a decade.

AMD competes with Intel in CPUs (Ryzen, EPYC) and with NVIDIA in GPUs (Radeon) and AI chips (Instinct MI300). The $50 billion acquisition of Xilinx in 2022 strengthened AMD's position in FPGAs and data centers. The company is a major beneficiary of the AI infrastructure boom.

Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. AMD depends on the cyclical semiconductor market and has experienced 60%+ declines multiple times in its history, including drops in 2000, 2008, and 2022.

Important Limitations

Past performance ≠ future results

This calculator shows what did happen, not what will happen. Historical returns — even spectacular ones — do not guarantee similar results in the future. Markets change, industries shift, and individual companies face unique risks.

Prices are in USD

All stock and index prices are displayed in USD (the trading currency). If your local currency weakened against USD during the period, your actual return in local currency would be higher — and vice versa. We use current exchange rates, not historical ones.

Fees and taxes not included

Real-world returns would be reduced by brokerage fees, fund expense ratios (for indices), and capital gains taxes. These vary by country and can significantly impact net returns. Use the Killer Fees Calculator to estimate fee impact.

Split-adjusted prices

We use split-adjusted closing prices from Yahoo Finance. This means stock splits are accounted for automatically. If you compare our prices to other sources showing unadjusted prices, the numbers will look very different — both are correct, they just measure different things.
