- Matthew Bloxham, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Media and Tech Analyst, discusses Nvidia Corp.'s investigation into Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang's affair with an alleged Chinese spy. The company's board is assembling a committee of independent directors to investigate the matter, with outside counsel, after Huang disclosed the romantic relationship in a memo to employees. The incident threatens to further roil the AI market, with Nvidia being a key source of financing for AI infrastructure and Huang being a leading voice in the industry, and has led to a slide in Nvidia's shares.
-Michael Monaghan, Portfolio Manager and Principal of the Founders 100, gives reaction to Nvidia news.
Following news that NVIDIA is launching an investigation into CEO Jensen Huang over his relationship with a woman who intelligence agencies said is a Chinese Spy, Michael Monahgan says he fully supports Jensen staying as CEO. Founder-led companies outperform because one person carries the vision. The same concentration is the risk, and the market is pricing it this week. With Q3 earnings slated to be released on November 17th and a closed-door congressional briefing scheduled for November 18th, Michael expects the business to remain on track.
-Matthew Palazola, Bloomberg Intelligence, Senior Analyst, P&C Insurance, discusses earnings from Berkshire Hathaway. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: Berkshire Hathaway's stock can still behave like an anti-AI trade even while the conglomerate is investing in AI capabilities and owns a major Alphabet position. The company continues to deploy capital, though stock buybacks are likely to decline this quarter after a record $9.6 billion in 3Q.
-Jean-Yves Coupin, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Credit Analyst, discusses the latest at CVS. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: CVS Health's planned split may prove manageable for creditors, as a path to low-3x leverage remains, providing some cushion against uncertainty about the future capital structure. The decision to separate into two entities follows a 2024 review, though regulatory and political headwinds remain a threat to the credit profile.
