Nvidia Shares Drop Following Reports of CEO Jensen Huang's Resignation
Nvidia (NVDA) shares fell 4.34% on November 12, 2026, following reports that co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang has resigned. The departure follows controversies regarding personal relationships and alleged ties to a Chinese spy. In response, the company appointed CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO and named Harvey C. Jones as the first Chair of the Board. The leadership vacuum triggered significant market volatility, with trading volume surging 423% above its three-month average. As investors rotated out of Nvidia, competitors such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Broadcom (AVGO) saw gains. Analysts have already begun slashing price targets for NVDA in anticipation of long-term leadership uncertainty. Investors are now looking toward Nvidia's upcoming earnings call on November 17 to seek clarity on management stability and continued demand for AI hardware.
