Ad-blocking-related or is this the same for everyone?

A $4 share price is comparable to other company share prices relative to market capitalisation. eg. Alphabet at 950B ~ $720 per share.

Perhaps the surprising thing is the $4.7B market cap on AMD?

Sorry it happened, I had no issue on my side (otherwise I wouldn't have posted it). Here's a simpler rendering http://www.printfriendly.com/print/?source=homepage&url=http...

Price per share is irrelevant. Going from 2 to $4 is that same 50 to 100. Typically however, companies like to keep their stock price higher as it seems more attractive and a low share price seems less valuable than I.e. $100/share. Market cap is completely separate, all depending on number of outstanding shares.
