英伟达宣布黄仁勋辞职,估值累计蒸发逾1万亿美元
据WIRED AI报道,英伟达宣布黄仁勋辞去公司职务。市场开盘不到一小时,英伟达市值便损失约5460亿美元。尽管股价已有所回升,但此前数周的丑闻已使这家芯片公司的估值累计蒸发逾1万亿美元;报道并未将全部跌幅归因于黄仁勋辞职。
英伟达的芯片用于训练大多数主要AI模型,报道估计其在前沿AI模型训练芯片市场的份额约为90%。黄仁勋离任因而引发外界对英伟达领导层及其全球经济地位的关注;同期AMD和博通股价上涨。
On Thursday morning, Nvidia announced that Jensen Huang had resigned from the company that had become, in many ways, synonymous with its chief executive.
Less than an hour later, when the markets opened, Nvidia’s stock had lost roughly $546 billion in market value. Though it has rebounded somewhat, the last weeks of scandal—including a reported second affair with an Nvidia employee—have tanked the chipmaker’s valuation by more than $1 trillion.
Huang’s very public downfall began in late October, when The New York Times reported that the CEO had a “close relationship” with Alice Huang, a former executive at the Singapore-based chip buyer Megaspeed and an alleged asset of China’s Ministry of State Security. (The two are not known to be related.) At that time, Nvidia’s market cap was around $5.2 trillion.
On November 8, Nvidia announced it was investigating its CEO, after Jensen publicly acknowledged the affair. By the following morning, roughly $1 trillion had been erased since the scandal started.
If you hang out with a certain type of person who thinks of themselves as a daytrader, they might have talked about “buying the dip” over drinks last weekend. If you believe Nvidia can thrive without Huang, there’s still time! The dip has dipped even further. But the early consensus seems to be that this could be more of a prolonged plunge.
