Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang sued over alleged shareholder disclosures
Nvidia shareholders have sued the company and CEO Jensen Huang in a proposed class action filed in San Jose, California.
The complaint alleges that Nvidia and Huang misled investors by not disclosing Huang’s alleged relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed who is not related to him.
US authorities reportedly concluded Alice Huang was a Chinese intelligence asset, though the allegations about the relationship and its security implications have not been established in court.
The shareholders say the matter raised national security concerns that could harm Nvidia’s reputation and business prospects.
Huang told Nvidia employees he had been unfaithful to his wife, but did not give details of the alleged relationship.
Nvidia shares fell 4.3% on Monday, reducing the company’s market value by about $190 billion.
Nvidia announced an investigation on Sunday, and the shareholders are seeking unspecified damages.
Nvidia and Chief Executive Jensen Huang were sued in a proposed shareholder class action on November 9, 2026.
The complaint alleges they misled shareholders by concealing Huang’s alleged relationship with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive suspected by U.S. authorities of being a Chinese intelligence asset.
The lawsuit says the matter raised national security concerns that threatened Nvidia’s reputation and business prospects.
Nvidia announced an investigation into the matter on November 8, and its shares fell 4.3% on November 9.
The share-price decline reduced Nvidia’s market capitalisation by about $190 billion, according to the reports.
