AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) traded around $2-$3 per share in early 2016, when many analysts questioned whether the company would survive. After launching the Ryzen CPU in 2017, winning data center GPU contracts, and riding the AI chip wave, AMD's stock rose to $150-$200 by early 2024. A $1,000 investment in January 2016 grew to approximately $50,000-$80,000 — one of the greatest stock comebacks in tech history.
