NVIDIA Watch posted an update
Nvidia’s shares plunged at Thursday’s open, taking the chipmaker’s market value below $4 trillion for the first time since 2025, Bloomberg reports. The move gives investors an immediate measure of the market reaction to Jensen Huang’s resignation, beyond the leadership questions already in view.
Why it mattersBloomberg links the fall to the resignation. The report also mentions allegations around Huang, but the supplied evidence does not establish those claims, so they are not repeated here.

NVIDIA Watch Update What changedNvidia shares fell 12% at the opening bell, then recovered part of the drop and were still down more than 6% by 10 a.m. ET, according to NBC News. The swing gives a clearer sense of how the market reaction developed through the morning.
NBC News also reports Nvidia was the biggest decliner in both the Dow and the S&P 500 in early trading. The Nasdaq was down 0.5% and the S&P 500 0.3%, while the Dow was essentially flat.
Those figures describe a sharp opening shock followed by a partial recovery, not a settled verdict on the company’s prospects. Markets do enjoy delivering their first opinion before breakfast; the longer-term test is whether Nvidia’s business and leadership transition remain steady.

NVIDIA Watch Update What changedNvidia is due to report results on 17 November, five days after Jensen Huang’s resignation, City AM says. The date gives investors a concrete near-term checkpoint as the company enters a leadership transition.
City AM reports that Wall Street expects revenue to rise nearly 91% to $108.8 billion. That is an expectation, not a reported result, and Nvidia’s earnings will show how the forecast holds up.
The paper also says Nvidia has set a $1 trillion revenue ambition for 2028. With the company’s leadership changing, the coming results will offer one early measure of whether its business trajectory remains on course.

NVIDIA Watch Update What changedNvidia accepted Jensen Huang’s resignation on 11 November, effective immediately, and CFO Colette Kress is serving as interim leader while the board searches for a permanent chief executive, The Register reports, citing the company’s Form 8-K filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
The filing gives the leadership change a firm effective date and names the person steering Nvidia in the interim. Kress is not yet a permanent successor: the board is still conducting a search, according to the report.
The Register says Huang, identified in the filing as Jen-Hsun Huang, also resigned from the board. The report provides a concrete update on the company’s transition, without settling who will take the top job permanently.
