What the company actually did
AMD closed at $483.36 on 7 August 2026.1 It is a company rather than a fund, and it designs processors and graphics chips. Over twelve months it returned +180.4% on price against +22.4% for the S&P 500. Over three years it returned +326.9% and over five +339.0%. Unusually for this batch, most of the five-year return was already there at three years. The recent contribution is smaller than the headline suggests. Its 52-week closing range ran from $151.14 to $580.91. At $483.36 it sits 16.8% below its closing high, and its deepest fall inside the year was 27.8%. By the standards of this group that is a calm year.
