what happened

Shares of AMD and Broadcom rose Thursday after Jensen Huang stepped down as president, chief executive and board member of Nvidia, according to TradingView, which cited a CNBC report. AMD has climbed close to 17% since Monday, when markets opened following reports of an alleged relationship between Huang and a suspected Chinese spy. On Thursday AMD traded 5.29% higher at $582.17, while Broadcom gained 4.98% to $362.40.

Nvidia said on November 12 that Huang's resignation took effect immediately. Finance chief Colette Kress was named interim CEO, and the company has begun searching for a permanent successor from both inside and outside the firm. The board also named Harvey C. Jones its first chair in company history. He said directors fully back Kress and the current leadership team, and expect operations, customer commitments and product plans to continue without disruption.

AMD is Nvidia's nearest competitor in complete rack-scale AI systems. Its Helios racks go head to head with Nvidia's Vera Rubin lineup, offering buyers an option as they look to lessen reliance on Nvidia's pricey chips, which are also short of supply. Helios systems are already installed at Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI and Oracle.

why it matters

The leadership gap at Nvidia shifts investor attention toward rivals. However, Daniel Newman of the Futurum Group cautioned that AMD cannot quickly expand output even if customers want to switch to its products.
