Nvidia’s Board Opens an Investigation
A letter to staff, an independent review and a share price under pressure in a valuation-sensitive market.
Nvidia’s board opened an independent investigation into chief executive Jensen Huang on 8 November 2026 after he told staff in a letter that he had been unfaithful to his wife. Reporting by British outlets, attributed to unnamed sources, says US intelligence believes the other party may have been recruited by Chinese state security. The board said it has found no evidence that the company or national security secrets were compromised, and that Huang will keep his role and cooperate; China’s foreign ministry on 9 November called the espionage claim groundless. The share price fell about 3.7% overnight and 4.5% to 5% premarket. The recruitment claim is an allegation, not an established fact.
