Nvidia se hunde en Bolsa tras iniciar una investigación por una relación extramatrimonial de su CEO
Los títulos llegan a caer cerca de un 6% ante las dudas sobre el futuro de Jensen Huang, mayor figura actual de la industria tecnológica y clave en el éxito de la compañía en los últimos años
Nvidia finds itself in turmoil following the initiation of a probe into an extramarital affair involving its CEO, Jensen Huang. The company's shares have plummeted by nearly 6% in after-hours trading to $175, following the board's announcement of the independent investigation. The affair allegedly involved Huang spying on the woman he was in a relationship with for the Chinese government, raising concerns about the future of the key figure in Nvidia's growth.
Now the second most valuable company in the world, Nvidia's market capitalization has dropped to $4.5 billion, just behind Apple, after a 4.5 billion dollar value before the Monday's decline. The market turmoil has spilled over to other areas, with short positions on crypto-linked contracts exceeding $189 million in a single day, even as Wall Street was closed.
In addition, an analysis of the top 25 contract positions revealed three new short positions totaling around $9.1 million on Sunday. These bearish bets profit if the contract price falls.
