Nvidia investors were awaiting a board decision on the future of chief executive Jensen Huang after new reports about his extramarital affairs and his relationship with a presumed Chinese spy. Six analysts downgraded their ratings or price targets between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, citing governance concerns, succession risks and geopolitical uncertainty. The stock has fallen 7% this week, after declines of 4.3% on Monday and 5.5% on Tuesday, followed by a 2.9% rebound on Wednesday and a roughly 5.4% drop in Thursday premarket trading.
