Chip Rivals Offset Nvidia's 4.5% Drop After Jensen Huang's Exit

November 12, 2026 · 16:11 ET

Chipmaker Nvidia fell 4.5%, losing $176 billion in market value, after co-founder Jensen Huang resigned immediately as chief executive, president and director following 33 years running the company. Nvidia disclosed in an 8:50 a.m. regulatory filing that chief financial officer Colette Kress stepped in as interim chief executive and veteran director Harvey C. Jones became its first independent board chair. Nvidia's board hired an outside firm to search for a permanent chief following an investigation into personal relationships that prompted Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Chris Coons to ask the administration to preserve export-control records on Chinese artificial-intelligence chip shipments. Nvidia shares pared an early drop of more than 13% as investors moved money into competing chipmakers. Nvidia's 4.5% drop on Jensen Huang's resignation was offset inside chip benchmarks by gains of 5.5% in chipmaker Broadcom and 5.8% in rival Advanced Micro Devices, leaving the SOXX semiconductor fund down 0.3%. AI cloud provider Nebius Group sank 17.1% after cutting cloud revenue guidance and flagging higher capital spending.

West Texas Intermediate crude oil climbed 2.8% to $89 a barrel, raising inflation worries across global bond markets. Two-year Treasury yields rose 15 basis points to 4.88% and the 10-year yield gained 14 basis points to 5.13% ahead of the Federal Reserve's December 8-9 policy meeting. Weekly jobless claims rose to 200,000 and October existing home sales fell to their slowest pace since 2010, though Tuesday's 0.4% October consumer-price increase kept bond yields climbing. Higher yields lifted the US dollar index to a 2026 high of 103.2 and pulled gold down to $3,874 an ounce, sending the GLD gold bullion fund down 2.8% to its lowest level in more than a year. Bitcoin fell 4.2% to $71,356, and the Russell 2000 dropped 1.6% against a 0.4% slip for the S&P 500.

Smaller borrowers, crypto miners and Chinese internet companies took the steepest losses as higher borrowing costs weighed on rate-sensitive shares. Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba fell 7.0% on fears that Nvidia's leadership change will bring tighter US restrictions on AI chip exports to China, and agricultural chemical maker Corteva dropped 23.8% after cutting its full-year profit outlook on weak Brazilian farm demand. The WGMI crypto-mining fund slid 5.1% and AI data-center operator CoreWeave lost 6.8%. A FactorPulse gauge of hedge-fund losses has now won back 48% of its autumn drop since its November 5 low, with seven of its 8 components having turned higher.

Nvidia Falls 4.5% on Huang Resignation

Nvidia fell 4.5%, including a 4.4% stock-specific drop, after Jensen Huang resigned immediately as president, CEO and director. The Wall Street Journal A Form 8-K named CFO Colette Kress interim CEO, appointed Harvey C. Jones the first independent chair and disclosed an outside search, putting Kress over ecosystem funding ahead of Tuesday's November 17 earnings report, Bernstein noted. Broadcom rose 5.5% and AMD gained 5.8%, offsetting that 4.5% drop on Huang's resignation inside chip benchmarks and leaving the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) down 0.3%.

Nebius Group sank 17.1% on lowered Neocloud revenue guidance and rising capital expenditure intensity, while China export-curb headlines hit memory and equipment stocks. Bloomberg Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Chris Coons asked the administration to preserve export-control records on Chinese AI chip shipments, and Sen. Tom Cotton urged Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to put Chinese memory maker ChangXin Memory Technologies on the Entity List. CNBC

Our 1-day hedge-fund de-risking score stands at the 39.3rd percentile against full-day history since 2020 with no legs firing, a factor profile consistent with funds adding risk back rather than cutting it. US long-short hedge funds held net leverage at 42% as of November 6 in Morgan Stanley prime brokerage data, while trend-following CTAs stood net short Nasdaq momentum as of November 11 in UBS models.

Economic Context

Initial jobless claims released at 8:30 AM ET rose 9,000 to 200,000 for the week ended November 7, topping the 195,000 consensus while the four-week moving average held at 195,250 Labor Department. Existing home sales from the National Association of Realtors at 10:00 AM ET fell in October to the slowest annualized pace since 2010 as high mortgage rates kept inventory scarce, even as the median October price hit an all-time high. Rate markets weighed both softer activity prints against Tuesday's 0.4% rise in the October Consumer Price Index BLS. Federal Reserve Vice Chair Michelle Bowman cited disappointing progress on inflation and broadening price pressures at the Council on Foreign Relations, and Governor Christopher Waller earlier flagged a potential 50 bps hike ahead of the December 8-9 FOMC meeting, 27 days away Federal Reserve.

Terms

Pairwise realized correlation. Index variance net of the weighted idiosyncratic diagonal, over the cross terms — the estimator used for implied-correlation indices. 20-day window unless noted; history since 2020.

Factor z-score. Today's factor return divided by its daily-return standard deviation over ~1,600 trading days.

HF de-risking score. A FactorPulse measure of de-risking in factor returns: the average of four legs, each in its own daily-volatility units and counted only when it moves in the de-risking direction. They are the most-shorted names rising, 12-month momentum winners falling, names crowded in hedge-fund 13F filings falling net of their beta and momentum, and last week's relative moves continuing instead of reverting (counted only alongside another leg). A leg counts as firing at half its daily volatility or more, so a leg can show a small value without firing. Types: A, covering and selling together; B, selling only; C, covering only. Ranked against every session since January 2020. It reads factor returns only, never positions.

Dispersion (realized). Total cross-sectional volatility net of the market component; high dispersion is the flip side of low correlation.

Stock-specific (idiosyncratic) return. The part of a stock's move not explained by the market, style or thematic (industry and theme) factors in the FactorPulse risk model.

VIXEQ / DSPX / COR1M. Cboe implied indices: single-stock volatility, dispersion, and 1-month implied correlation (top-50 S&P names). Quotes delayed ~15 minutes.
