what happened
The New York Times, citing five people who had worked at the chipmaker, reported on Wednesday that CEO Jensen Huang had an extramarital relationship with a company executive who reported directly to him. According to the paper, the executive is Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of health care. Nvidia had not replied to a Reuters request for comment when the report was published.
The story comes as Nvidia's board examines whether Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation, after he acknowledged in a message to staff that he had been unfaithful to his wife. Nvidia shares dropped nearly 4% in extended trading.
why it matters
Nvidia shares already draw heavy investor attention, so leadership news tends to move the stock quickly. For markets, the key questions are the possible effect on the company's management and the outcome of the board's inquiry rather than the personal side of the story.
