Nvidia's stock fell by 4.32 per cent following the resignation of its Chief Executive Officer and co-founder, Jensen Huang, amid an extramarital affair scandal.
The company had earlier announced Huang's resignation.
Colette Kress, Nvidia's Chief Financial Officer, has stepped into Huang's role in an interim capacity as the company searches for a permanent replacement.
The leadership vacuum at Nvidia has stirred uncertainty, leading to a 4.32 per cent decline in its stock price to $166 per share.
United States President Donald Trump said he had spoken with Huang.
According to Trump, Huang is going through a difficult period following the controversy.
"He called me...he said, ' What I've done to my wife and family..."
"I spoke to him — he's going through hell. What he feels most badly about is his wife and family. That's what he told me," Trump said in a recent interview.
The US Congress plans to invite Huang for questioning over allegations of multiple affairs.
Huang's alleged extramarital affairs reportedly involve a Chinese spy and an employee of the company.
Huang had reportedly admitted to having an affair on Sunday and apologised to his wife, with whom he has been married for 41 years.
