AMD’s Lisa Su named CEO of the Year after 158% stock surge leaves Nvidia behind

Lisa Su has picked up Yahoo Finance’s 2026 CEO of the Year title, and the stock market numbers tell you why. Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) have jumped 158% this year, while its much bigger AI rival Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has gone the other way, falling 7%. Yahoo Finance made the award after AMD landed major customers, delivered stronger earnings than Wall Street expected and pushed further into the market for AI computing equipment. The comparison gets even sharper beyond Nvidia. Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) is down just under 1% this year, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have risen 11% and 10%, respectively. AMD hasn’t escaped the selling that hit technology shares after the midterm elections, though.
