Here's what people are saying: DONALD TRUMP, US PRESIDENT: "I have not spoken to him about it. I just know he's a fine person, but you never know what is going on. I hope everything's fine ... I think he's an honourable guy." BILL ACKMAN, PERSHING SQUARE CEO: "I am not suggesting he gets a free pass. If indeed this is more than an affair, then it is obviously a real problem. I like the guy. He has done a lot of good for the world and I hope the damage here is minimal. That is, I am hoping for a simple affair, not a risk to our national security." MOHAMED A. EL-ERIAN, FORMER PIMCO CEO: "While Nvidia has sought to reassure us all, there are several layers here, beginning with the unfortunate timing. For example: The company is systemically important for tech, markets and the economy; Investors tend to struggle to price in key-person and governance issues; and there are fluid national security and geopolitical dynamics." JOSH GILBERT, LEAD ANALYST AT ETORO: "This boardroom storm has landed at a brutal time for the AI trade, but Nvidia’s earnings on 17 November are the real next test. While the investigation is likely to dent sentiment, it won’t alter anything long-term unless it leads to a change at the top, at which point it becomes a completely different ball game." CHRIS WESTON, HEAD OF RESEARCH, PEPPERSTONE: "Will Huang get replaced? No, I don't think that's going to happen. I think given that he is like the godfather of AI and, you know, the OG of what has been the biggest investment thematic that we've seen in a generation, I mean, I think if we genuinely thought he was going to step down ... the stock would be down - it would be an absolute bloodbath, to be honest. "If it is found out that she's confirmed as a spy, then, crikey, it doesn't go well." ### Related Stocks - [ANV.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ANV.US.md) - [DIPS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DIPS.US.md) - [NVC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVC.US.md) - [NVD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.US.md) - [NVDB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDB.US.md) - [NVDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDD.US.md) - [NVDG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDG.US.md) - [NVDL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDL.US.md) - [NVDO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDO.US.md) - [NVDQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDQ.US.md) - [NVDS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDS.US.md) - [NVDU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDU.US.md) - [NVDW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDW.US.md) - [NVDX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDX.US.md) - [NVDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDY.US.md) - [NVIB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVIB.US.md) - [NVII.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVII.US.md) - [NVIT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVIT.US.md) - [NVW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVW.US.md) - [NVYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVYY.US.md) - [NYYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NYYY.US.md) - [07388.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07388.HK.md) - [07788.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07788.HK.md) - [09388.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09388.HK.md) - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Nvidia launches probe after report CEO Huang was target of foreign intelligence](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304768894.md) - [Nvidia Is Now Nearly 3 Times Cheaper Than Intel on Forward Earnings](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304906881.md) - [South Korea says Nvidia issues won't affect contracted GPU supplies](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304784797.md) - [EXCLUSIVE-Nvidia chips pile up in Hong Kong as China withholds import approval](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304441352.md) - [Korea’s AI Ecosystem Advances and Secures Agentic AI With NVIDIA](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304801160.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
