The 2010s witnessed a remarkable era of growth in the technology sector, where companies like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) became synonymous with stock market success.
Among these tech giants, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD), the chipmaking powerhouse, also carved out a prominent place as a stock market winner, delivering impressive returns to savvy investors who recognized its potential early on.
Since October 2010, AMD’s stock price has skyrocketed from around $7 to its current price of $101.1 as of October 5, 2023. This represents an astonishing surge of more than 1,340%.
