Nvidia shares fell in out-of-hours trading on Monday. The company's board has launched an internal investigation into CEO Jensen Huang. This probe is examining whether Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort. The investigation was prompted by media reports detailing Huang's relationship with a Chinese businesswoman.

Huang informed Nvidia employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife, though he did not provide specific details about the relationship. The fallout from the investigation extended to South Korea, where Madison Huang, Huang's daughter and an Nvidia executive, cancelled a planned visit to Seoul for an Nvidia conference. The conference was scheduled to begin on Monday.

Disagreement on share price drop

Reports varied on the exact percentage of the share price drop. The Express Tribune stated Nvidia prices were around $178.60 a share, down more than 4% from Friday's Nasdaq closing price of $186.64. Channel News Asia reported prices around US$180.30 a share, down about 3.4 per cent from Friday's Nasdaq closing price of US$186.64. Economy.pk reported a fall of about 3.4%, while TechCentral noted a drop of more than 4%. Tärkeimmät talousuutiset | Kauppalehti… reported a fall of about 4.2 percent.

What the coverage left out

None of the centre or right-rated reports mentioned that Jensen Huang told employees he had been unfaithful to his wife. The centre-rated reports from The Express Tribune and Channel News Asia did not include the specific share price figures reported by other outlets, such as the $178.60 or US$180.30 mentioned in their respective full reports. None of the right-rated reports mentioned Jensen Huang's admission of infidelity to employees.

They also noted that Huang had admitted to being unfaithful to his wife. Both outlets mentioned that Huang's daughter, Madison Huang, cancelled a planned visit to Seoul. The Express Tribune included market analysis from Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone, who described Huang as the "godfather of AI" and suggested the stock would be in an "absolute bloodbath" if Huang were to step down. It also quoted billionaire investor Bill Ackman and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, as well as former US President Donald Trump, on the allegations. Channel News Asia also quoted Chris Weston and noted the share price drop.
