How Much Is Nvidia Stock Worth Without Jensen Huang?
Nvidia stock has slipped 10% this year.
Over the past few years, Nvidia (NVDA) has soared over 1,300% thanks to its top AI chips and charismatic leader Jensen Huang. However, recent allegations of affairs involving Huang have caused a reversal in Nvidia's fortunes. The company's board investigated the allegations, and Huang resigned as CEO. Colette Kress, Nvidia's CFO, has been appointed as interim CEO, while the board searches for a permanent leader.
Investors are now wondering the value of Nvidia stock without Huang at the helm. Analysts Dan Ives of Yorkville Ives and Citi estimate the stock's value at $225 without Huang, which is still a gain from today's price. Nvidia's market cap dropped from a peak of over $5 trillion to a current market cap of around $166 per share. Despite some risks, such as potential government scrutiny and renewed export restrictions to China, the company's technology and market position remain strong.
Kress, who knows the company well, is expected to lead the company during this uncertain period, potentially leading to a $225 valuation.
