Nvidia heads into Monday under pressure after Huang’s exit

Nvidia heads into Monday under pressure after Huang’s exit

Nvidia shares could open lower on Monday, 16 November, after extending Friday’s losses in after-hours trading. The chipmaker closed at $162.85, down 2.01%, and slipped to $161.01 in late trading. That leaves the shares under pressure heading into the new week, with investors weighing founder Jensen Huang’s departure and quarterly results due on Tuesday.

Friday’s trading points to a volatile open
Nvidia traded between $158.39 and $170.00 during Friday’s regular session, a range of more than $11. The stock lost about 12.7% over the week, its sixth consecutive weekly decline. The weakness spread across the sector on Friday, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index down 3.4% and the Nasdaq Composite down 0.9%.

Friday’s after-hours price gives investors a reference point for Monday. A renewed sell-off in chipmakers or fresh uncertainty over the succession could push Nvidia below Friday’s close. A recovery in technology shares could help it regain some of the late losses. Monday’s pre-market trading will provide a more timely indication before Nasdaq opens at 9.30 am New York time.

Kress takes charge ahead of results
Huang resigned as chief executive, president and a board member on Thursday. Colette Kress, Nvidia’s chief financial officer since 2013, took over as interim chief executive and will retain her finance role while the board considers internal and external candidates. The board said it expected customer commitments and product development to continue without interruption.

Nvidia is scheduled to report its fiscal third-quarter results after the US market closes on Tuesday, 17 November. Revenue reached $96.2 billion in the previous quarter, including $89 billion from its data centre business. Those figures give investors a benchmark for assessing whether demand for AI chips is still growing at the pace that drove sales earlier this year. Kress’s outlook for data centre demand and profit margins will help investors judge whether Friday’s decline reflects concern about the leadership change or broader doubts about the company’s growth.
