Advanced Micro Devices has been having its “It” moment of late. With the widespread interest in artificial intelligence, AMD, as the company is more commonly known, has been benefiting from the AI boom. With its stock trading near all-time highs, some investors are wondering if a stock split (a corporate action the chipmaker hasn’t conducted in more than a quarter century) could be on the horizon.
Lisa Su, who became CEO of AMD in 2014, has helped to grow AMD from a chipmaker to a leading tech giant in the AI age. The company makes graphics processing units (GPUs) that enable complex AI calculations, as well as central processing units (CPUs) used in AI data centers.
AMD has been around for a long time — the company conducted an IPO and went public in 1972, just a few years after its 1969 founding. Then, in its early years, AMD rewarded stockholders early on with a series of stock splits.
Here’s a look at AMD’s stock split history, what its stock would be worth today had it never been split, and a discussion of whether another stock split might be on the table given the company’s recent performance.
When did AMD conduct its first stock split?
AMD conducted its first stock split in 1978, when it offered stockholders three shares for every two they owned.
How many times has AMD split its stock?
AMD has conducted 6 stock splits over the course of its more than half-century as a public company.
Its first stock split was 3-for-2 in 1978, followed by another 3-for-2 in 1979, 2-for-1 in 1980, 3-for-2 in 1982, and 2-for-1 in 1983.
It would be another 17 years before AMD made its sixth stock split, a 2-for-1 in 2000. In the more than quarter century since, the company hasn’t conducted another stock split.

AMD’s share price, had the stock not been split six times, can be calculated by multiplying the current stock price by the cumulative stock split ratio, in this case, 27:
