Nvidia Weighs Huang’s Exit

Nvidia’s $NVDA ( ▲ 2.87% ) bad week just got worse. The stock fell 8.61% in after-hours trading on Wednesday after two reports pointed to more troubling news for CEO Jensen Huang.

Details: The New York Times reported on Wednesday afternoon that Huang had a second affair, this time with an Nvidia executive who reported to him. Later on Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia’s board is preparing to oust Huang from his CEO role.

Background: Both reports come just days after Huang admitted to having an affair with another woman. Reports characterized that woman as a Chinese spy.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: Huang’s potential exit would create two separate questions: how much investors will pay for Nvidia without him, and whether the company can keep delivering its products and profits. Those could have very different answers.

Final Thoughts: Nvidia’s stock has lost roughly 16% of its value in the past week.

Bitcoin's Price Stabilizes

After a brutal week, the price of Bitcoin $BTC ( ▼ 1.26% ) stabilized on Wednesday, jumping less than 1%. Over the past week, it is down nearly 8%.

Details: Bitcoin’s weekly decline reflects a combination of a tech-stock selloff, weaker demand from Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds), and a fresh inflation shock that triggered forced selling.

Final Thoughts: Wednesday’s stabilization looked more like a pause after that selling wave than a clear reversal. The price is down 15% this year.
