NVIDIA shares faced intense selling pressure during the week of November 9, 2026, amid a board investigation into CEO Jensen Huang’s personal conduct and reports linking him to a suspected foreign intelligence matter, culminating in his resignation on November 12. The stock fell from $178.67 on November 9 to intraday lows near $149 on November 12, with daily moves exceeding 5% amid elevated volume and multiple analyst downgrades that cut price targets sharply. Broader equity indices rallied as oil prices eased and tech peers advanced, highlighting NVDA’s decoupling from the sector. Traders are now focused on the November 17 earnings release, where guidance on data-center demand and margins will test whether fundamentals can stabilize sentiment following the leadership transition.
