00:00NVIDIA shares are showing signs of stabilization as investors digest the stunning departure of
00:06longtime CEO Jensen Huang. The chip-making giant stock plunged more than 4 percent Thursday,
00:12recovering from an earlier drop of roughly 14 percent as Wall Street weighed the company's
00:17future without the man who helped build it into an artificial intelligence powerhouse.
00:22NVIDIA has named Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress interim CEO while launching a search for
00:28a permanent replacement. Huang's exit comes amid reports of extramarital affairs and growing
00:34national security scrutiny. Now investors are asking whether NVIDIA can maintain its dominance
00:39in the booming AI industry without its most recognizable leader. The leadership shake-up
00:45is also sending shockwaves across the semiconductor industry, with competing chip-makers gaining
00:50ground as investors reassess the future of the AI trade.
