Börse: Nvidia-Aktie fällt nach Berichten über möglichen Chefwechsel

Nvidia's share price plummeted following reports of possible CEO Jensen Huang's dismissal, according to the Wall Street Journal. The company's board is reportedly considering removing Huang, with a decision to be made by the oversight committee on Wednesday. The New York Times also reported on the meeting. The stock of the semiconductor manufacturer fell as low as $158, its lowest level since mid-2025, after midnight.

Huang is considered one of the most iconic figures of the AI boom in recent years. His removal could plunge the chip giant into a leadership crisis, as its chips are seen as key to further AI development. Nvidia is among the most valuable companies in the world by market capitalization. Earlier reports had claimed that Huang had become a target of foreign espionage activities.

The company had initiated its own investigation, to be conducted by board members and external investigators. Additional reports suggested a relationship between Huang and a woman who was allegedly a Chinese spy, according to U.S. intelligence sources. In recent days, media reports have claimed Huang had an affair with a company manager. Huang and Nvidia reportedly commented on the affair initially.
