Nvidia's board met on removing its founder; the shares fell 8% after hours.

Reported, not verified. The board meeting and the preparation to remove Jensen Huang come from the Wall Street Journal and Reuters, each citing unnamed people. Nvidia's newsroom carries nothing after the November 8 board statement, which we read, and the Securities and Exchange Commission published no index for November 11 because Veterans Day is an EDGAR holiday. A Form 8-K or a board statement naming the outcome would verify it. Verification date: November 19, 2026.

Reuters published at 3:32 pm Pacific Time on November 11, 2026 that Nvidia's board was preparing to remove founder and chief executive Jensen Huang, citing the Wall Street Journal, and that it was set to meet as soon as that Wednesday to decide his future. Reuters said it could not independently verify the reports. Earlier the same day the New York Times reported, citing 5 former employees, an extramarital relationship between Huang and Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, who reported to him; the Times said Huang declined to discuss it and hung up; Nvidia and Powell did not respond to requests for comment, nor Nvidia to Reuters or CNBC. CNBC reported that shares fell about 8% in after-hours trading on November 11, and one market log put it at 8.09% at about 6:05 pm Eastern Time. Reuters said Nvidia has lost about $600 billion in market value since the investigation was announced. The one primary document we read is the board's statement of November 8, 2026 at nvidianews.nvidia.com: the board "is initiating an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort," a committee of independent directors with outside counsel will oversee it, the board has "no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised," and the board "has confidence in Jensen and his leadership team." Gil Luria of D.A. Davidson told Reuters immediate removal would be hard with no succession plan, and that the board would act quickly once it had proof Huang broke the law or company policy. Separately reported, not established by us: that an outside firm is working on replacements; that senators Elizabeth Warren and Chris Coons asked the administration to preserve records on H200 exports to China, with a January 12 deadline; and that Congress may subpoena Huang. Not established: that any vote was taken, what was decided, or who would succeed him.
