Explained: Why Nvidia shares dropped 4% in overnight trade and what analysts warn can trigger a bloodbath?

Nvidia's shares fell 4% in overnight trading after CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with a woman named Alice Huang, who was suspected of being a Chinese spy. Huang expressed regret for his actions and apologized to his family and employees. The company launched an investigation into the matter. Huang's relationship with Huang, who previously worked for a data center company in Singapore, has caused concern among investors, as Alice Huang is believed to have been feeding information to China.

While Nvidia's board does not believe national security or company secrets were compromised, they are conducting a thorough inquiry. Despite the controversy, some prominent figures like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Bill Ackman have defended Huang, stating they hope the situation does not negatively impact Nvidia's long-term prospects.

Analysts warn that if the investigation reveals more than an affair, it could lead to a significant drop in Nvidia shares.
