AMD Stock Returns, Drawdowns & Recovery, 2000–2026
Market data through Nov 12, 2026
How did AMD’s worst decline compare with the S&P 500?
AMD took nearly two decades to regain its June 2000 closing high. Its worst drawdown was 96.59%, compared with 56.78% for the S&P 500 over the same study period. The two losses occurred in different market cycles.
AMD peaked on June 21, 2000, reached its low on July 27, 2015, and regained the peak on January 2, 2020: 7,134 calendar days from peak to recovery. The S&P 500’s deepest decline began on October 9, 2007. It bottomed on March 9, 2009, and recovered on March 28, 2013, after 1,997 days.

DRAWDOWN & RECOVERY
AMD vs S&P 500 Drawdowns
Compare AMD with the S&P 500 during market declines. Drawdown measures the loss from each investment's previous peak. The chart compares losses over the same dates. The recovery timeline follows AMD's deepest decline within this dataset.
How severe can a AMD drawdown be?
In this synchronized AMD–S&P 500 dataset, AMD's maximum adjusted-close drawdown was -96.59%, compared with -56.78% for S&P 500.
A hypothetical $10,000 investment made at AMD's prior peak would have fallen to approximately $341 at the trough. Recovering from that loss requires a subsequent gain of approximately 2832% just to return to the previous peak.
The same comparison for S&P 500 would reduce $10,000 to approximately $4,322, requiring roughly 131% to recover. This illustrates why the magnitude of a percentage loss matters: the gain required to recover becomes increasingly large as drawdowns deepen.

Drawdown perspective
AMD declined from its Jun 21, 2000 peak to its lowest point on Jul 27, 2015. It regained that previous high on Jan 2, 2020, completing a decline-and-recovery cycle of 7,134 calendar days.
Source: Yahoo Finance daily closes: AMD and S&P 500 price index. Drawdowns are calculated from synchronized daily adjusted-close observations from 2000-01-03 through 2026-11-12. Each series is measured from its own running peak over the identical comparison period. AMD uses adjusted closing prices. The S&P 500 benchmark is a price index and excludes reinvested dividends. Each maximum drawdown uses its own peak and trough dates. Recovery means the first daily close at or above the prior peak. Durations count calendar days, including weekends and holidays. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD): what investors own
AMD sells processors for personal computers and servers, graphics chips for gaming and AI, and embedded products. An AMD shareholder owns all of those businesses. That matters when reading the stock chart: stronger demand for server CPUs can improve earnings even in a quarter when desktop graphics market share slips.
AMD earnings: what the Q3 2026 report showed
On November 3, AMD reported $13.4 billion in quarterly revenue, up 45% from a year earlier. Data Center contributed $8.55 billion, roughly 64 cents of every revenue dollar. Its 97% annual growth reflected demand for EPYC server CPUs and the launch of Instinct MI450 Series GPUs. GAAP diluted earnings came to $1.46 per share. Adjusted diluted earnings were $2.09. Investors comparing quarters should use the same earnings basis across both periods. AMD’s Q3 earnings release
AMD AI chips and GPU market share
Instinct accelerators serve data-center AI workloads. Radeon graphics cards compete in the desktop PC market, where shipment data are easier to observe. In the second quarter of 2026, AMD accounted for about 8% of discrete desktop graphics card shipments, Nvidia about 90%, and Intel about 2%, according to reporting on Jon Peddie Research’s figures. Those percentages cover desktop cards. Measuring AMD’s share of data-center AI accelerators would require a separate market total and AMD accelerator-only sales or shipments. AMD’s combined CPU and GPU segment revenue cannot supply that figure. Jon Peddie Research shipment report · Vendor share breakdown
AMD vs. Nvidia: how the stocks behaved
The two chipmakers moved in opposite directions on November 12: AMD rose 5.86% to $585.30 while Nvidia fell 4.34% to $166.19. That gap of 10.20 percentage points illustrates the risk of using one stock as a proxy for the other. For a longer comparison, examine each company’s peak, trough and recovery date against the same S&P 500 benchmark. Nvidia’s historical returns and drawdowns · TNI’s November 13 comparison
Lisa Su and AMD’s recovery
Lisa Su became AMD’s CEO in October 2014. The stock reached the trough identified in this study in July 2015 and regained its June 2000 closing high in January 2020. Putting her appointment on the chart shows the scale of the recovery during her tenure. To assess operating execution today, the Q3 report provides more specific evidence: server CPU demand, accelerator launches, segment revenue and profitability. AMD leadership biography
AMD stock forecast: what 2026–2027 price targets imply
At the November 12 close of $585.30, analysts’ average 12-month AMD price target was $657.74, implying about 12.4% upside. The published range ran from $525 to $1,250. Those endpoints imply roughly 10.3% downside and 113.6% upside, respectively. They are individual estimates across analysts, not probability bounds. The targets extend roughly into November 2027. A December 2026 or December 2027 closing-price prediction would require a separate estimate. Analyst price target snapshot
Is AMD a buy? Zacks Rank and TNI’s model
Zacks assigned AMD Rank #2 (Buy) in its November 12 analysis. On November 13, TNI’s Quant Agent recorded a 36.5% model probability and a HOLD signal. The final Prediction Lab outlook was also HOLD for 15 trading days. For a reader weighing those assessments, the relevant question is the investment horizon: Zacks discussed the earnings outlook, the analysts supplied one-year targets, and TNI evaluated the next 15 sessions.

AMD stock news and the next stock prediction
On November 12, BofA Securities raised its target from $650 to $700 and retained its Buy rating. On the same date, RBC reiterated Sector Perform. A reader tracking revisions can see the disagreement even before the next quarter’s numbers arrive.

AMD stock price forecast: the four-agent decision
At a November 13 reference price of $523.13, AMD traded above its 20-day average of $518.76 and its 200-day average of $421.71, but below its 50-day average of $552.99. The averages used observations through November 12. The Risk Agent flagged the medium-term weakness. The Quant Agent returned HOLD at 36.5% with a rolling diagnostic of 20.0%. The News Agent evaluated three articles and classified sentiment as neutral, with 45% confidence. These percentages describe different outputs and should be read separately.
The Decision Agent recorded HOLD for the next 15 trading sessions. For Nvidia, the Quant Agent returned BUY at 72.1%, while the final decision was also HOLD. The published comparison includes both recorded cards and the market context. Read the November 13 AMD and Nvidia forecast.

Advanced Micro Devices Historical Returns: What the Available Market History Shows
The history of Advanced Micro Devices returns shows how annual performance has varied across the available historical record.
This Advanced Micro Devices yearly returns database contains 26 completed calendar years from 2000 through 2025, plus the current 2026 year-to-date observation.
Across those 26 completed years, the average annual Advanced Micro Devices price return was +41.69%.
The median annual return was +11.16%.
Those summary statistics are useful, but the complete Advanced Micro Devices annual-return history provides more detail about how yearly performance has varied across the available record.
Looking at individual annual observations makes it possible to compare yearly outcomes using the same verified historical dataset.
Positive Advanced Micro Devices Years: Average Return +109.57%
One of the strongest findings in the historical Advanced Micro Devices returns dataset is the frequency of non-negative calendar years.
Of the 26 completed calendar years, 14 were non-negative.
That represents 53.85% of all completed years in the historical dataset.
Across those 14 non-negative years, the average annual Advanced Micro Devices price return was +109.57%.
The median return among those non-negative years was +78.44%.
That median is useful because it shows that the positive-year average was not driven solely by a small number of extraordinary market gains.
Strongest Positive Advanced Micro Devices Year
The strongest completed year in the entire dataset was 2009, when the Advanced Micro Devices price return reached +348.15%.
For this research, a zero return is included in the non-negative group.
Negative Advanced Micro Devices Years: Average Loss -37.51%
Negative years tell the other side of Advanced Micro Devices performance history.
Across the same 26 completed calendar years, 12 years were negative.
That represents 46.15% of completed years.
Looking only at those 12 negative years, the average annual Advanced Micro Devices price return was -37.51%.
The median negative-year return was -33.74%.
These figures show that a negative calendar year historically meant considerably more than simply finishing slightly below zero.
Worst Advanced Micro Devices Year
The worst calendar year in the dataset was 2008, when the Advanced Micro Devicesprice return fell -71.20%.
Negative calendar years occurred less frequently than non-negative calendar years, but several historical losses were substantial.
What Positive and Negative Advanced Micro Devices Returns Show Together
Putting both groups together reveals one of the most important characteristics of historical Advanced Micro Devices returns.
There were 14 non-negative completed years compared with 12 negative completed years.
The average return during the 14 non-negative years was +109.57%.
The average return during the 12 negative years was -37.51%.
Across all 26 completed years together, the average annual Advanced Micro Devices price return was +41.69%.
The median annual return across the full historical period was +11.16%.
An investor rarely experiences the long-term historical average in any particular calendar year.
Instead, individual Advanced Micro Devices annual returns can vary substantially around that average.
That is one reason the complete Advanced Micro Devices historical returns by year table can be more informative than relying on a single long-term number.
What Does the Advanced Micro Devices Average Return of +41.69% Mean?
Across the 26 completed calendar years in this dataset, the arithmetic Advanced Micro Devices average return was +41.69% per completed calendar year.
This is the arithmetic average of the individual annual price returns in the historical dataset.
It does not mean the market gained exactly 41.69% in a typical year.
Individual Advanced Micro Devices yearly returns frequently differed substantially from that number.
The median annual return of +11.16% provides a second way to evaluate the distribution.
Looking at both the average and median gives readers more information about historical Advanced Micro Devices returns than either statistic provides by itself.
These figures represent Advanced Micro Devices price returns, not total returns.

Best and Worst Advanced Micro Devices Annual Returns
The strongest calendar-year price return in the dataset occurred in 2009 at +348.15%.
The worst annual price return occurred in 2008 at -71.20%.
These extremes are far removed from the full-dataset Advanced Micro Devices average return of +41.69%.
Advanced Micro Devices Price Return vs. Total Return
Understanding the type of return used on this page is essential.
The historical figures presented here are Advanced Micro Devices price returns.
Price return measures the change in the market price of the asset between periods.
The figures on this page do not include dividends.
Therefore, these results should not be interpreted as Advanced Micro Devices total returns.
A total-return series would incorporate dividends or other distributions according to the methodology of that series.
The chart, historical table, filters, and statistics on this page represent Advanced Micro Devices price performance only.
Advanced Micro Devices Return 2026 YTD
The current dataset shows the Advanced Micro Devices return for 2026 at +173.30% YTD through Nov 12, 2026.
Unlike the completed historical calendar-year observations, 2026 is still in progress.
TradingNInvestment therefore displays the 2026 YTD return separately.
It is excluded from calculations such as the historical average, median, best completed year, and worst completed year.
This prevents a partial-year observation from being treated as though it were directly comparable with a completed calendar year.
The 2026 YTD result can change when the underlying verified market data is updated.
Why the Median Advanced Micro Devices Annual Return Matters
Average return is one of the most commonly quoted historical stock market statistics.
But the median provides useful additional information.
Across the 26 completed years, the median annual Advanced Micro Devices price return was +11.16%, compared with an average of +41.69%.
The difference indicates that the distribution of historical annual returns is not perfectly symmetrical.
Large negative years can pull the arithmetic average downward.
Average, median, positive-year frequency, negative-year frequency, best year, and worst year together provide a more complete view of historical Advanced Micro Devices returns.
No single statistic captures the entire history.
How Often Have Advanced Micro Devices Returns Been Positive?
The dataset contains 14 non-negative years out of 26 completed years.
That corresponds to 53.85% of completed calendar years.
This is a historical frequency, not a probability forecast.
It would be incorrect to say that Advanced Micro Devices has a 53.85% probability of rising next year simply because 53.85% of these historical observations were non-negative.
Future market conditions can differ substantially from historical conditions.
The statistic describes what occurred across the observed period, not what must happen in the future.
Why Study Historical Advanced Micro Devices Returns?
Historical Advanced Micro Devices returns provide context that recent performance alone cannot provide.
A large gain or decline can appear unusual when viewed only against the most recent observations.
Comparing the current period with the available historical distribution helps show how it relates to earlier outcomes.
Historical returns can help investors, researchers, students, and analysts examine how annual performance has varied through the available record.
They can also reduce the tendency to use only recent performance as the reference point for evaluating the current year.
How to Use the Advanced Micro Devices Return Explorer
The TradingNInvestment Return Explorer is designed to make historicalAdvanced Micro Devices returns easier to investigate.
Instead of presenting only a static chart, the tool allows readers to filter the same verified annual-return dataset.
Readers can examine all available years, non-negative years, negative years, and available historical periods.
The chart, annual-returns table, and summary statistics update from the same selected data.
Readers interested in downside history can examine the 12 negative calendar years in the completed-year dataset.
Readers studying non-negative historical performance can examine the 14 non-negative calendar years in the completed-year dataset.
When sufficient history is available, readers can also use the available period views to focus on more recent performance.
The purpose is not to predict the next Advanced Micro Devices return, but to make the available historical observations easier to explore and understand.
Reading Advanced Micro Devices Performance History in Context
One of the biggest risks when studying historical returns is selecting a period that confirms an existing belief.
A short period can appear exceptionally strong or exceptionally weak depending on its starting and ending years.
Using the broader available Advanced Micro Devices history provides additional context for interpreting shorter periods.
Different historical windows can produce different average returns, frequencies of positive and negative years, and extreme outcomes.
None of those periods is inherently the single correct measure of historical performance. They answer different questions about different parts of the available record.
This is why TradingNInvestment provides both the available historical series and interactive period filters.

The annual comparison uses daily closes for AMD, NVDA, the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC), and the S&P 500 (^GSPC). For each series, annual price return equals the ending close divided by the preceding year-end close, minus one. The chart and table display the same observations. Drawdown is measured from each series’ running closing high; recovery is the first subsequent close at or above that high. All four 2026 figures use November 12. The separate 15-trading-day model snapshot is dated November 13.
