After Jensen Huang’s Departure, Nvidia Just Did Something It Hasn’t Done Since 2019
It’s been a turbulent week for Nvidia.
Nvidia, the tech giant led by CEO Jensen Huang, has faced a challenging week. Huang stepped down amid allegations of two affairs, including one with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy. The board appointed CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO. Despite this turmoil, Nvidia's stock plummeted 10% from the start of the week, bringing it to a valuation of approximately 21x trailing 12-month earnings.
This represents a significant discount from its previous high, which was last seen in 2019. Nvidia's stock price is considered cheap for a company with its current market position and growth prospects, particularly in the rapidly expanding AI industry. However, the uncertainty surrounding the CEO search and potential government scrutiny of Huang's actions pose risks to Nvidia's long-term prospects.
Investors should weigh the potential benefits against these uncertainties, considering their risk tolerance.
