Nvidia Stock Inches Higher as Investors Continue to Weigh Jensen Huang’s Departure
Huang's departure follows reports of extramarital affairs, one involving a suspected Chinese spy at a Singapore customer, amid federal scrutiny over chip exports to China.
- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned on Thursday after his board confirmed CFO Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO while searching for a permanent replacement.
- The resignation follows reports of two extramarital affairs, one with Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell, vice president of health care at Nvidia, and another with a customer executive whom intelligence agencies allegedly linked to Chinese espionage.
- Nvidia reported $96.2 billion in revenue last quarter, up 106% year-over-year, with guidance set at $108 billion for the quarter ended in October. Shares fell about 7% to around $161 after dipping below $149 at the open on Thursday.
- Federal scrutiny remains regarding whether Nvidia chips reached China through a Singapore-based customer. Stephanie Balaouras, VP, group research director at Forrester, said this transition will serve as a "stress test for the AI boom."
- Companies relying on Nvidia should expect few immediate changes, though experts suggest the departure prompts reassessment of concentration risk. CIOs may increasingly seek vendor diversification to mitigate future dependency on a single supplier.
