Nvidia Shares Fall Amid Reports of Potential CEO Jensen Huang Ouster
Nvidia (NVDA) shares dropped approximately 8% in after-hours trading following reports that the company's board is considering removing co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang. The potential leadership change follows personal scandals involving Huang, including allegations of an affair with a woman linked to Chinese intelligence and another with a subordinate executive. The news has triggered significant market volatility, with the stock declining roughly 11% over the past five days. Investors are particularly concerned by the lack of a clear succession plan, given Huang's long tenure of 33 years and his highly centralized management style involving approximately 60 direct reports.
