AMD's Comeback Story: From Underdog to $174B Semiconductor Leader Through Powerful Chips and Key Acquisitions

AMD has transformed from an underdog to a leading semiconductor company worth over $174 billion.

AMD's stock price has increased 5x in the past 5 years as it produces more powerful chips than Intel.

AMD acquired AI startup Nod.ai, though the terms were undisclosed it seems a small deal compared to others.

In 2022, AMD spent nearly $2 billion acquiring Pensando and $50 billion on Xilinx.

With its high valuation and billions in cash, AMD is poised to acquire more companies, especially in AI.
