Center Owned by The Tribune TrustNvidia stock slides 8% as probe into CEO Huang’s ties to ‘Chinese spy’ unfolds
What's behind this
Nvidia’s shares fell sharply after the board opened an internal inquiry into whether chief executive Jensen Huang was the focus of a foreign intelligence operation, with reports of an alleged Chinese spy targeting him. The stock dropped about 5 % in pre‑market trading and opened around 8 % lower, a decline that could erase roughly $225 billion in market value. The probe has been described as an unprecedented crisis for the AI‑chip maker, which also lacks a clearly identified successor. The allegations have revived scrutiny of China’s espionage activities, a CSIS database notes 224 reported Chinese espionage cases against the United States since 2000.
