Nvidia shares fell after reports that the company's board of directors may consider removing CEO Jensen Huang. According to the outlets, a decision could be made as early as Wednesday evening. At the same time, there is no official confirmation from the company of such a decision; the reports refer only to preparations, not to a final decision by the board.
Huang has been the founder and CEO of Nvidia for 33 years. The key factor that drew attention to his position was his disclosure of personal details in a letter to colleagues. He announced a romantic relationship, and this disclosure came a day before he returned to the company's headquarters. According to reports, he then held his usual morning meeting at headquarters and again apologized to employees.
The outlets describe Huang's conduct as an attempt to maintain the usual work rhythm, often referred to as a "business as usual" approach. At the same time, the headlines of some publications also feature a separate story linked to claims about a "Chinese spy." Details of this accusation are not established in the materials provided, and there is no confirmed connection between it and the board's discussion. Therefore, these claims cannot be considered proven.
A number of questions remain open. It is unknown whether the board will vote to remove Huang, who might succeed him in such a case, or the exact timing of a possible decision. The scale and credibility of the claims regarding a "Chinese spy" have also not been established. For investors and the company's employees, the further course of events remains uncertain until the board publishes its decision.
