Nvidia Faces Post-Huang Scenario as Stock Drops 4.3% Amid China Spy Scandal

Summary
Nvidia investors and directors are increasingly weighing a future without Jensen Huang after revelations of his affair with Alice Huang, whom U.S. intelligence identified as a Chinese spy.
Washington pressure is rising because Democrats and others say Nvidia may have tried to influence a Commerce Department investigation involving Megaspeed, a Singapore company that employed Alice Huang.
The company now faces a board inquiry, shareholder lawsuits and scrutiny from lawmakers, even as some investors still argue Nvidia’s core business can withstand the scandal.
A forced exit would leave Nvidia confronting a succession problem with no clear replacement in place, testing whether political and legal fallout can erode confidence in one of AI’s central companies.
