Also, AMD took advantage of the rumors driving stock buyers. They released more stock, allowing them to pay off enough of their outstanding debt to have until 2025 to pay it off! At the time, AMD had major debt due in 2018 and 2019!

Now that they're making a profit, that shouldn't be an issue. But Lisa Su bought then the breathing room 4 years back by making the right call,

AMD Mgmt and Su's expert decisions were a big part of me jumping in. Until she arrived and started making the right calls, AMD was quite the gamble.
 
To be fair it wasn't just the stock issuance, Su focused the company by cutting all the extraneous stuff they were doing. Previously they sold divisions because they needed the money. But here its to refocus the company to its two core businesses, cpus and gpus with cpus getting the priority. That and their gameplan of controlling the consoles due to their APUs, Mantle, the API ecosystem. I saw all that coming together... synergy lol.
