Huang-Affäre: Nvidia verliert binnen einer Woche rund eine Billion Dollar an Börsenwert
Auch am Dienstag geben die Aktien des Chipherstellers Nvidia deutlich nach. Davon profitiert haben dürfte ein US‑Shortseller. Der warnte bereits vor Monaten vor einem Problem bei Nvidia.
In the latest episode of the Huang-Affäre, Nvidia, the US chipmaker, witnessed a significant drop in its stock value over the course of a week. The company's shares experienced a decline on the second consecutive day, falling further on Tuesday. The stock fell by up to seven percent during trading sessions, reaching its lowest point since late March. This resulted in a weekly decline of approximately 19 percent, reducing Nvidia's market capitalization from nearly $5.0 trillion to around $4.0 trillion within just a week.
The primary driver behind this sharp decline is the ongoing issue involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and a suspected Chinese spy, Alice Huang. According to media reports citing intelligence sources, Alice Huang, the manager of the Singapore-based data center firm Megaspeed, allegedly passed information to Beijing. This development raises concerns that Beijing might be attempting to gain access to Nvidia's most advanced chips used for AI development, which are subject to export restrictions to China.
