The Wall Street Journal reports that Nvidia's board is preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang, following a company investigation into an affair with a Chinese woman alleged to be a spy. NVDA fell sharply after hours, dropping roughly 7.9% to about $160, with futures down similarly.
If confirmed, it would be the biggest leadership upheaval ever at the $4-trillion chip giant. Nvidia reports earnings after close on Nov 17. The claim rests on a single WSJ report; Nvidia has not responded yet.
