In March, the price of Advanced Micro Devices, AMD stock rose very high because investors got attracted to its computer chips for Artificial Intelligence.
AMD had a big change for the better after hitting a low point in 2015. They improved their products and made more money. AMD’s stock went way up over the next six years. But it went down starting in late 2021 because fewer people were buying personal computers. Last year, though, AMD’s shares went up again because people were excited about its chips for AI in big computer centers. They’re also expected to make money from people upgrading their computers because of AI.
The company was founded in May 1969 and launched into public in September 1972. It moved to a fabless semiconductor business in March 2009 by off-shooting its factories as Global Foundries (GFS).
