What happened?

Shares of CoreWeave fell 8% in the afternoon session after Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang immediately resigned amid an internal board probe, sparking concerns across artificial intelligence cloud providers, as reported by CNBC.

The resignation of Nvidia's chief executive officer triggered contagion that spread across artificial intelligence cloud providers during the morning trading session. The retreat reversed a large portion of CoreWeave's surge from the previous session.

Investors worried that leadership changes at Nvidia could jeopardize future capital investments and compute capacity agreements with CoreWeave. CoreWeave depends on Nvidia as both a key supplier and customer, leading to concerns regarding how the executive departure and internal board probe might affect business between the companies.
