Nvidia Faces $470 Billion Two-Day Wipeout, $1.7 Trillion in Market Cap Erased Amid Honeypot Scandal
The company said independent directors and outside lawyers are investigating whether Jensen Huang was targeted by foreign intelligence as analysts cut price targets.
- Nvidia's market value fell to about $4.04 trillion on Tuesday, reflecting a loss of roughly $1.7 trillion since October 6, following CEO Jensen Huang's weekend acknowledgment of an extramarital affair.
- U.S. intelligence officials reportedly suspect a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed passed information to Beijing, prompting Nvidia's board to launch an independent committee investigation into whether Huang was targeted.
- Wells Fargo cut its price target to $300 from $315, citing the investigation and key-leader risk, while Bernstein noted the espionage claims appear to be "more form than substance."
- Calling Huang the "intellect" behind Nvidia, Pengana Capital CEO Russell Pillemer highlighted the company's prior warning that "failure to ensure effective succession planning" could hurt its "long-term success."
- President Donald Trump said the FBI is looking into the relationship, adding "I think he'll be in good shape," as investors price in a roughly 25% chance Huang leaves before quarterly results on Tuesday, November 17.
