What this return means

A $1,000 position in AMD (AMD) opened in 2005 is worth $32,294 today. That works out to +3129.4%, about 32x the original stake, as of 2026-06-01.

In compound terms that is roughly 17.5% a year, well above what a broad index has historically returned. A plain S&P 500 fund would have turned that $1,000 into about $9,466 instead, leaving AMD ahead by around $22,828. The index compounded at about 11% a year over that period.

The year-by-year record shows how bumpy the ride was. The best single year was 2017 at +371.4%, and the worst was 2009 at -71.1%. At its lowest point the position was down about 95% from an earlier high. These figures use split-adjusted closing prices and exclude dividends, taxes, trading fees, and inflation, so a real after-tax result would differ.

None of this is a recommendation. It is a record of what already happened, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
