Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns, triggering CoreWeave stock sell‑off

Nvidia announced that CEO Jensen Huang will step down and CFO Colette Kress will serve as interim chief executive. The news rattled AI‑infrastructure companies, and CoreWeave shares fell sharply the next day after reporting strong Q3 results. The sell‑off also spread to other neocloud stocks that rely on Nvidia GPUs.

The leadership change at Nvidia raises uncertainty about continued financing and chip supply for AI‑cloud providers, which could pressure CoreWeave’s valuation and debt‑funded expansion plans. Investors will watch Nvidia’s upcoming earnings for clues on how the transition may affect the broader AI ecosystem.
