【U.S. stocks rebound across the board, but Nvidia plunges over 8% as market worries Huang may step down】
At the U.S. market open on November 9, the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all rose, while Nvidia $NVDA defied the trend, plunging 8.4% and clearly decoupling from the broader market during the session. The immediate trigger for the sell-off was the board’s announcement that it had launched an independent investigation into whether Huang Renxun had become a suspected target of a foreign intelligence operation. For Nvidia, Huang is not just its CEO, but also one of the most important business leaders in the AI industry. If the investigation affects his reputation, management stability, or the company’s relationship with U.S. policymakers, the market’s concern goes beyond a mere PR crisis.
Meanwhile, Google launched the TPU 8tx and 8i Max, while tech stocks such as AMD and Meta rose. Google $GOOGL is moving its in-house chips beyond internal use and into the hands of cloud customers, and its TPU business already has nearly 100 customers. The AI computing market is seeing more options, adding to competitive pressure on Nvidia. However, the new TPUs will not be rolled out gradually until next year, so today’s drop cannot simply be attributed to product competition.
This decline reflects a reassessment of corporate governance and geopolitical risks triggered by the Huang Renxun situation, while progress on Google’s chips has heightened market attention to competition in the industry. Nvidia’s board has said there is currently no reason to believe that national security or company secrets have been compromised, and the investigation does not mean Huang Renxun will step down. In the short term, whether the stock can stabilize will depend on whether the investigation produces any substantive negative developments.
