Nvidia Board Prepares to Oust CEO Jensen Huang as Report of Second Alleged Affair Emerges: WSJ
The board is weighing an emergency ouster as stock falls and lawmakers press for a closed-door briefing on national-security concerns.
- Nvidia's board launched an investigation into CEO Jensen Huang on Sunday after he admitted to an extramarital affair with a businessperson whom U.S. intelligence identified as a Chinese spy.
- On Monday, November 9, Nvidia shares closed down 4.27% as investors reacted to the scandal, erasing roughly $190 billion to $200 billion in market value amid key-person risk concerns.
- A shareholder lawsuit filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California accuses Nvidia of misleading investors, while the company lacks a public succession plan for Huang.
- President Donald Trump expressed support for Huang on Monday, stating he believes the executive will be 'in good shape,' while the board retained law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz for the investigation.
- Huang manages over 60 direct reports and sets strategy, making him exceptionally difficult to replace; most analysts do not expect the investigation to end his tenure at the company.
