AMD has officially reached a market capitalization of $1 trillion, joining an exclusive group of fewer than two dozen global companies. This milestone was confirmed by Saša Marinković, the company's senior marketing director, on September 21, 2026. The stock price experienced significant volatility following the announcement, occasionally dipping below the threshold.

The company's valuation growth was driven by a 29% rise in share price over the past month, with 21% of that increase occurring in the last five days. On Monday, shares surged by approximately 9% during the initial hours of trading. Despite this achievement, AMD remains significantly behind Nvidia, which currently holds a market cap of approximately $5.4 trillion.

AMD has surpassed Intel in reaching this valuation, as Intel's market cap currently stands at approximately $648 billion. Intel has also seen a notable rally, with its share price increasing by 37% over the past month. Both companies experienced a boost following their recent financial performance, with AMD having exceeded its Q2 revenue expectations by 2%.
