What the chart shows
Monday split the chip makers. Nvidia closed down 4.27% after its board opened an independent inquiry, run by a committee of independent directors with outside counsel, into reports that Jensen Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort. AMD rose 13.26% and Broadcom added 8.8%.
This chart puts Nvidia's and AMD's share prices on one scale, each starting at 100 on 31 August. Nvidia's line rises to an early-October peak and then drifts lower, ending 19.1% under its starting point. AMD swings far more widely, Thursday's collapse included, and still ends 8.1% above.
An inquiry into a chief executive does not change how many chips Nvidia can ship. The thing to watch is whether a single large customer hesitates.
