What this return means

A $1,000 position in AMD (AMD) opened in 2020 is worth $10,856 today. That works out to +985.6%, about 11x the original stake, as of 2026-06-01.

That is a compound rate of about 44.3% a year, an extreme pace that few holdings sustain for 6.5 years. A plain S&P 500 fund would have turned that $1,000 into about $2,574 instead, leaving AMD ahead by around $8,283. The index compounded at about 15.7% a year over that period.

The year-by-year record shows how bumpy the ride was. The best single year was 2024 at +123.1%, and the worst was 2023 at -34.2%. At its lowest point the position was down about 34% 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.
