Here's What a $10,000 Investment in Nvidia Could Be Worth if Jensen Huang Is Removed as CEO, According to Wall Street Analyst Dan Ives
Huang is embroiled in a scandal involving an extramarital affair with a woman who may have been a Chinese spy.
Recent reports have surfaced suggesting that Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, had relationships with women who might have been Chinese spies. In response, Nvidia announced the launch of an independent investigation into a foreign intelligence effort targeting Huang. Following the market close on November 11, news emerged that the company is preparing to remove Huang. This has sent Nvidia's stock plummeting over 7% in after-hours trading.
Wall Street analyst Dan Ives estimates that if Huang is removed as CEO, Nvidia's stock value could drop by 25%-30%, potentially rendering a $10,000 investment worth as little as $7,000. Ives, a renowned tech analyst, also expressed a 15% chance of Huang's removal as CEO, with current odds at 60% on the prediction markets platform Kalshi.
The removal of Huang would undoubtedly create a chaotic situation for Nvidia, the second-largest company in the world with a market cap of over $4.3 trillion. While the company would likely continue to operate, it would take time to rebuild investor confidence. Furthermore, the scandal could potentially lead to Congress imposing further export restrictions on chips, which could harm Nvidia's market opportunity in China.
