Lisa Su named Yahoo Finance’s “CEO of the Year”; AMD shares surge 158% year to date
November 13 — According to Yahoo Finance, AMD CEO Lisa Su has been named the publication’s “CEO of the Year.”
Behind the award are the many industry-shaping achievements she led AMD to accomplish in 2026, including financial results that exceeded expectations and receiving the National Medal of Science from President Trump.
In the capital markets, AMD shares have surged 158% year to date, far outpacing Nvidia, which fell 7% over the same period, Broadcom, which edged down, and gains of 11% for the S&P 500 and about 10% for the Nasdaq.
Since becoming CEO in 2014, Su has transformed the chipmaker, once on the verge of bankruptcy, into Nvidia’s strongest competitor. In recent years, she led AMD’s acquisition of Xilinx and forged a deep partnership with Meta that could give AMD a stake of up to 10%.
In 2026, AMD once again spent $8.2 billion to acquire World Labs, an AI startup founded in 2024 by Fei-Fei Li, known as the “godmother of AI,” gaining access to cutting-edge 3D environment software technology.
Li will become AMD’s executive vice president and chief scientist, reporting directly to Su. She previously served as chief scientist at Google Cloud and brings extensive AI expertise and experience in frontier research.
Su also said in an interview that she joined AMD back then to be among those leading the technological frontier, and that today, AMD is unquestionably driving the world’s most important technological advances.
