NVIDIA (NVDA) closed at $162.85 on Friday, November 13, extending its five-session decline to approximately 12.7% after founder Jensen Huang resigned as CEO amid reports concerning his personal conduct and potential national security implications.

According to NVIDIA's November 12 announcement, Huang stepped down as president, CEO, and board member, effective immediately. Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress became interim CEO, while longtime director Harvey Jones was appointed the company's first board chair.

Shares fell as low as $148.80 on November 12 before recovering some of their losses. The leadership change prompted investors to reassess Huang's central role in NVIDIA's AI strategy, customer relationships, and long-term growth prospects.

Dan Ives of Yorkville Ives & Co. estimated NVIDIA was worth $225 per share without Huang, compared with $300 if he remained CEO.

In his November 12 assessment, Ives argued that NVIDIA's leading position in AI chips would remain intact despite the leadership uncertainty.

The $75 difference between his estimates highlights the substantial premium he placed on Huang's leadership and relationships with major AI customers.

At Friday's closing price, the lower $225 valuation implies approximately 38% potential upside, although an analyst's estimate does not guarantee future stock performance.

NVIDIA's underlying business entered the transition with substantial growth momentum.

The company reported second-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $96.2 billion, up 106% year over year, while data center revenue increased 117% to $89 billion.
