Our AMD data runs from Apr 27, 2012 to Nov 2, 2026. Highs set before that date still count, so a decline that was already under way on the first day is shown from its low in our data and marked as such. Days are calendar days. The backdrop column names a period only where both the peak and the low fall inside a very well-known market episode.
What the history shows
- -The deepest decline was 96.6%, reaching its low on Jul 27, 2015 after a decline that began before our data.

A fall of 20% or more from a high is the usual rule of thumb for a bear market, and single stocks have them far more often than broad indexes. These figures describe what happened to AMD in the past. They do not predict what comes next and are not advice to buy or sell. Learn more in What Is a Drawdown? and Drawdowns vs Corrections vs Bear Markets.

That decline was already under way when our data begins (AMD was 84.6% below its high on the first day), so its starting peak is not shown.
