What the chart shows
Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia's president, chief executive and a director before Thursday's opening bell, effective immediately. A board inquiry opened on Monday had been looking into reports that he was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, alongside reports of extramarital affairs.
Nvidia's revenue went from US$4.1bn in FY2008 to US$130.5bn in FY2025 and US$215.9bn in the year to January 2026. For most of the years before FY2017 it never topped US$5.0bn.
Colette Kress, chief financial officer since 2013, is interim chief executive and keeps the finance role. Harvey Jones, who ran Synopsys, becomes the first chair in Nvidia's history. AMD and Broadcom rose on the day; Nvidia did not.
