Nvidia's board is currently deliberating over whether to remove co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang following allegations of a foreign intelligence effort targeting him. Shares of the company fell 6.53% to $162.38 in after-hours trading, reversing gains from the day's regular session. Nvidia initially announced an independent investigation into claims involving Huang, who has committed to cooperating with the inquiry.

The allegations reportedly stem from Huang's relationship with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive suspected of being a Chinese intelligence asset. Huang acknowledged an extramarital affair, expressing regret but declining to name the individual. His net worth dropped by $7.8 billion in a single day amid the controversy, currently ranking him 10th among global billionaires.
