Nvidia Shares Plunge After Opening Probe into ‘Foreign Intelligence’ Targeting CEO Jensen Huang

Nvidia’s shares tumbled after the chip‑maker disclosed it was opening an internal investigation into reports that foreign intelligence had singled out its chief executive, Jensen Huang. The market’s reaction was immediate, with the stock price sliding noticeably.

Investors seemed to treat the headline like a plot twist in a spy thriller – the idea of a tech CEO being a potential target of foreign intelligence was enough to send nerves jangling on the trading floor.

In a brief statement, Nvidia confirmed the probe but did not name any source, method, or timeline, simply noting that it was looking into the claims to protect the company and its leadership.

The episode has already sparked a flurry of commentary, with some quipping that if Nvidia’s stock were a sport, it would now be cricket – all about timing and a sudden wicket.
