EXCERPT:
Wall Street analysts reacted with temporary relief on Thursday as Nvidia (NVDA) announced that CFO Colette Kress would serve as interim CEO after Jensen Huang resigned following reports of affairs with a suspected Chinese spy and an Nvidia executive.
Kress, who has served as Nvidia CFO, is seen as a steady hand amid the turmoil at the company.
Wall Street watchers say that, in the near future, Nvidia will be the revenue monster it’s been since the start of the AI race, thanks to its existing product roadmap.
KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst John Vinh wrote in a note to investors that Kress’s appointment as interim CEO is constructive “given her tenure as CFO since 2013 and deep institutional knowledge of Nvidia’s business and strategy.”
But Huang, who led the company as a singular figure with dozens of direct reports, leaves a void that clouds Nvidia’s long-term outlook.
As a result, several analysts lowered their price targets and ratings on the company’s stock.
