Lisa Su Is Named Yahoo Finance's 2026 CEO of the Year: AMD Shares Are Up 158% This Year and Third-Quarter Revenue Hit a Record $13.38 Billion
Yahoo Finance on November 12 named AMD Chair and Chief Executive Lisa Su its 2026 CEO of the Year, citing her leadership as the chipmaker expanded in super intelligence (SI) computing, struck major deals and delivered strong performance. The award was announced at Yahoo Finance's Invest 2026 event, where executive editor Brian Sozzi presented it and interviewed Su; AMD's official account congratulated her the same day.
The numbers behind the choice are plain. AMD reported third-quarter revenue of $13.377 billion on November 3, up about 45% from a year earlier and a company record. As of November 12, Yahoo Finance figures showed AMD shares up about 158% this year, while Nvidia was down about 7% over the same period. Yahoo Finance also noted that Su received the National Medal of Science from President Trump this year and has appeared at major international gatherings.
Su joined AMD in 2012, became chief executive in 2014 and added the chair's role in 2022. She said at the event that she joined AMD because she wanted to be part of a company truly at the forefront of technology. The award came on the same day the chip industry absorbed another major development: Nvidia announced that its co-founder Jensen Huang had resigned as president, chief executive and director. Huang and Su are cousins, and their companies are the most direct rivals in the market for super intelligence (SI) chips.
