Nvidia board meets to decide Jensen Huang’s future amid affair scandal
+63 new sources since this summary was written
Nvidia’s board convened on November 12 to consider removing CEO Jensen Huang after reports of two extramarital affairs, one involving a woman alleged to be linked to Chinese intelligence. The news sent Nvidia shares down more than 8% in after‑hours trading, erasing roughly $600 billion of market value. Huang, who co‑founded the company and holds about 3.6% of its stock, could be ousted by a majority of the 11‑member board. The company is slated to report its quarterly earnings on November 17.
Why it matters
The share decline and market‑value loss directly affect investors’ holdings in NVDA, and the potential leadership change creates uncertainty around Nvidia’s strategic direction ahead of its earnings release (the company’s own statement notes the earnings date).
