Nvidia stock rebounds 5% ahead of earnings as Huang scandal probe continues
Nvidia shares rose about 5.3% in premarket trading Wednesday, recovering after two days of declines tied to reports about CEO Jensen Huang's alleged relationship with a suspected Chinese spy. The stock had dropped 5.47% Tuesday and 4.3% Monday. Nvidia has hired law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to examine whether company secrets or national security were put at risk, with the CEO returning to the office this week ahead of the company's November 17 earnings report.

The rebound suggests investors may be regaining confidence that the controversy will not derail Nvidia's business, though Bank of America noted in a Tuesday note that outcomes could range from a contained situation with stable leadership to prolonged uncertainty that weighs on valuation. The upcoming earnings call could become a key moment for Huang to address investor concerns directly, given Nvidia's outsized influence on broader market sentiment as the world's most valuable tech company.
