AMD CEO Lisa Su Tops Earnings as Highest Paid CEO in The S&P 500
Lisa Su of Advanced Micro Devices has become the world's highest-paid CEO, according to a recent survey from The Associated Press on CEO compensation. Lisa Su's pay package was valued at $58.5 million after some extremely impressive company performance over her last five years as CEO on the back of the wild success of EPYC, Ryzen, and Radeon. This pay package comprised a base salary of $1 million, a performance bonus of $1.2 million, $56 million in stocks. This makes Lisa Su the first woman to become the highest-paid CEO and one of only 20 women on the list, versus 309 men.

Too bad I haven't bought AMD stock early enough.
amd has grown quickly but it's been rather stagnant lately.
So on paper, yes should be equivalent, in practice, not so much.

They then go on to say, and I quote: 'Several of these high-beta stocks have performed extremely well in 2019, including a 112% gain from AMD. However, these large positive returns from high-beta stocks occur much more often during periods of strong overall market returns, and traders can expect many of these same high-beta stocks to be among the worst performers during the next market downturn.'
So yeah, if I were you guys, I'd get out of AMD while the goings good, and maybe start looking into Intel again.
Things aren’t as successful on the Radeon side but 5700, drivers aside, delivered good performance for the price in the mid-range. RDNA2 is rumored to step it up and it’ll bring ray tracing too.
So I wouldn’t say they’ve been sitting on their ass. If this is stagnating then Intel was doing what, going back in time? Yeah, they’re clocking so high Intel is back-porting Willow Cove into their 14nm process.
Growth must be sustainable. Maybe, this time AMD's correction in 2019 was 'up to the correct level'. But the stagnation today doesn't point to that, after all, its not like they've slowed down in releases and design wins, quite the opposite.
Looks like AMD is following the right curve in the larger scheme... trend is clearly still up. But even they suffered a crypto/mine crash in 2018. They were not selling tons of GPUs though, so the impact is somewhat lower.
Question with these two graphs. Do we believe this can last? Seems to be growing too fast once again in both camps.
Intel OTOH... stagnant, clearly people are waiting for them to do something worthwhile :)
Also, with all three you can clearly see a plateau from the onset of the current crisis. This is all counting on the idea the economy will follow a V-shaped recession and the second wave won't be happening, I reckon there is a lot of wishful thinking involved here.
