Updated 9 November 2026, 07:00 GMT, before the US market open. Nvidia (NVDA) was indicated near $180 in overnight trading on Monday, about 3 to 4 percent below Friday’s close of $186.64 (StockAnalysis). Reuters put the overnight price at about $180.30 on Blue Ocean and perpetual futures, and Invezz reported about $178.81. Nvidia’s board said on Sunday it has opened an independent investigation, and the company said Jensen Huang continues as CEO. Verdict: the reaction puts the stock below Thursday’s $181.46 low ahead of results on 17 November. Reference levels: $172 below, $194 above.

- Thursday’s low: $181.46, on a 9.26 percent fall to a $181.60 close (StockAnalysis).
- 52-week range: $164.27 to $243.37 (StockAnalysis).

What the board said
In a statement published on Sunday, the board said it “is initiating an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort.” A committee of independent directors, “assisted by outside independent counsel,” will oversee it (CNBC).
The statement adds: “While the Board has no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised, the Board’s inquiry will examine all available information.” It says Huang “fully supports the review” and that the board “has confidence in Jensen and his leadership team.” The company told CNBC that Huang “is committed to continuing to lead NVIDIA as CEO without interruption.”

What it means for the stock
InvestingLive listed three risks for shareholders: key-person and governance risk at a founder-led company during an open investigation, Washington scrutiny that could cloud Huang’s role in chip policy, and the China export question. It also noted that “nothing so far touches demand, supply or earnings.”
That last point is why the session matters. Nvidia lost about 10.7 percent last week on AI and rate concerns, as covered on our Sunday Nvidia page. The overnight move adds a new company-specific reason to sell, eight days before a report that normally moves the stock on its own.
Tuesday’s US October CPI report is the other near-term event. CME FedWatch shows an 81 percent chance of a December rate hike (Reuters), and a hot reading would add pressure on expensive growth stocks.
Levels to watch
The first test is Thursday’s $181.46 low, which overnight quotes are already below. A close under it would point to Investing.com’s $171.83 pivot support, cited on our Sunday page, and then the $164.27 52-week low. On the upside, Friday’s high of $194.90 and the $193-$194 gap left by Thursday’s fall are the first resistance. StockAnalysis lists an average 12-month analyst target of $327.14 from 62 analysts, though that figure predates the board’s announcement.
Nvidia stock: bull, base and bear
| Scenario | NVDA | What has to happen | Anchor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bear | $172 | Selling continues through Monday, Thursday’s low fails to hold and CPI lifts rate worries. | Investing.com’s $171.83 pivot support; about 4.6 percent below $180.30. |
| Base | $178-$187 | The stock stabilises and investors wait for the 17 November results. | Between Invezz’s overnight quote ($178.81) and Friday’s close ($186.64). |
| Bull | $194 | The first session absorbs the news, CPI is soft and buyers return before results. | Friday’s high of $194.90 and the $193-$194 gap; about 7.6 percent above $180.30. |
The bear case sits below the overnight price. These are reference levels measured from Reuters’ overnight quote, not forecasts.
What to watch this week
- Monday’s open, 14:30 GMT: whether the regular session confirms the overnight fall.
- $181.46: Thursday’s low; closing below it opens the $172 pivot.
- Tuesday 10 November: US October CPI at 8:30 a.m. ET.
- Wednesday 11 November: the date House chairs set for a response on the briefing request.
- Board updates: the statement says more information will come “as appropriate.”
Quick take: Nvidia was near $180 overnight, down about 3 to 4 percent from Friday’s $186.64 close, after its board opened an independent investigation. The board says it has no reason to believe secrets were compromised, and Huang remains CEO. Below $181.46, the $172 support is next; a recovery would first face $194.
