BREAKING: Jensen Huang OUT at $NVDA — effective immediately.
Board just pulled the trigger. CFO Colette Kress steps in as interim CEO while they hunt for a permanent replacement.
Shares bleeding hard:
• Closed Wednesday at $173.73 (+2.9%)
• Dropped 8.6% after-hours on ouster rumors
• Now down another 7.8% premarket to ~$160
The Damage:
Huang's been at the helm for 33 YEARS. He IS Nvidia's AI narrative. Losing him mid-cycle is a massive execution risk.
What Triggered This:
• Board launched investigation into alleged foreign intelligence targeting
• Reports of relationship with woman tied to Chinese intelligence
• Second alleged relationship with internal VP surfaced via NYT
• National security exposure concerns escalated fast
Bottom Line:
Nvidia just lost its most valuable asset — the guy who built the AI chip empire and owns every customer relationship that matters.
Succession uncertainty + AI roadmap questions = volatility ahead.
Watch how this plays out. If the new CEO can't command the same confidence, $NVDA's premium valuation is at risk.
