Nvidia Shares Drop 5.5% Amid CEO Investigation and Upcoming Earnings
Nvidia (NVDA) shares fell 5.52% on Tuesday, closing at $168.80, following reports of an independent board investigation into CEO Jensen Huang regarding a potential foreign intelligence operation. The sell-off was accompanied by high trading volume, reaching over 420 million shares—more than triple the three-month average. The controversy arrives just ahead of Nvidia's scheduled earnings report on November 17. While broader markets like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq saw modest declines due to inflation data, Nvidia's significant drop contrasted with gains in semiconductor peers such as AMD and Broadcom, suggesting the volatility is driven by company-specific governance concerns rather than a decline in AI sector demand.
