Nvidia Corp.'s shares dropped 10% in postmarket trading after reports of CEO Jensen Huang's personal affairs sparked leadership concerns. Bernstein cut its price target to $200 from $400, amplifying market jitters.
The sharp decline followed rumors about potential board action against Huang, casting doubt on Nvidia’s strategic direction and governance. Financial firms like Bernstein, Baird, and Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock, with Bernstein slashing its price target to $200 from $400. If losses persist, Nvidia's market cap could fall below $4 trillion.
AI-linked stocks also suffered: Core Weave Inc. fell over 5%, while Intel Corp., Dell Technologies Inc., and Super Micro Computer Inc. each dropped around 3-4%. The broader AI sector faces uncertainty as investors question Nvidia’s China strategy and innovation roadmap, potentially shifting market share to competitors like Intel.
Analysts warn that leadership instability risks delaying critical AI advancements and eroding investor confidence in governance practices. However, some see opportunities for rival chipmakers offering second-source alternatives amid reduced demand for Nvidia's products.
Nvidia is set to report quarterly results on Nov. 17, with the board needing to address leadership concerns swiftly. Analysts expect continued volatility until clarity emerges about Huang’s future and governance reforms.
Nvidia’s crisis threatens its AI dominance unless swift action restores confidence in strategic direction and corporate stability.
