When Lisa Su became Advanced Micro Devices‘ (NASDAQ: AMD) CEO on Oct. 8, 2014, the chipmaker’s stock traded at about $3 per share. Today, AMD trades at just over $100 per share — so a $1,000 investment in the chipmaker on Su’s first day would be worth more than $31,000 today.
During those seven years, a $1,000 investment in AMD’s rival Intel would be worth less than $1,600 today. Let’s look back at how AMD generated such massive gains in such a short time.
