AMD stock price

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stock has been turbulent for much of its 50 years on the NASDAQ. It rose and fell during the mid-1980s, throughout the '90s, and saw two big swings between 2000 and 2010.

Each time, the price has come back to below $4 (on five separate occasions).

However, from a record low of $1.71 in September 2015, AMD shares have rocketed up to a current price of almost $60 in July 2020. With the growing demand for smart, mobile devices; desktop gaming, and high powered servers, AMD shares are likely to remain highly sought after.

What the bears are saying

• Competition keeps hitting its market share: While AMD has weathered many competitors over its 50 years in business, it’s also had its share value crushed several times.
• The stock is too volatile: The changing value of money aside, you could have invested in 1981 and then sold in 2015, at a loss. Not many companies have had such wild share price fluctuations as that.  
• One innovation could hurt its business: In the fast-changing IT market, a small, disruptive technology player could derail AMD's market dominance once more.

What the bulls are saying

• Ryzen is a winner: AMD’s Ryzen processor has been incredibly popular across a range of device applications, with demand growing strongly.
• AMD is holding steady: Despite nearly 50 years in business, AMD has innovated, fought off stiff competition, and reinvented itself many times over.
• Technology demand is growing: As long as AMD continues to invest in research and development, it has the potential to remain a top manufacturer of chipsets for many years to come, especially with the growing demand for mobile devices and the Internet of Things (IoT).
