The Brief · written from 9 sources

  • Nvidia is investigating CEO Jensen Huang's alleged affair with an alleged Chinese spy, and the probe is weighing on the stock.
  • Baird downgraded Nvidia, citing doubt about CEO uncertainty; Bloomberg calls the downgrade rare.
  • House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Brian Mast said he would subpoena Huang if he did not agree by Wednesday, November 11, to a joint closed-door briefing on November 18 about Nvidia's security protocols against foreign espionage.

Who’s affected

  • Nvidia investors
  • Developers and companies that depend on Nvidia GPUs
