AMD Falls 9% as Chip Rally Weakens After Huang Exit

AMD, Broadcom and Marvell fell sharply Friday, retreating more than Nvidia and the semiconductor ETF after Nvidia disclosed that CEO Jensen Huang had resigned and its CFO was serving as interim chief executive. The price data show the stocks’ relative moves but do not establish why they declined; despite Friday’s losses, all three rivals ended the week higher, while Nvidia finished lower.

AMD fell 8.8% on Friday, Nov. 13, while Broadcom and Marvell also declined, giving back some of the gains that had set them apart from Nvidia during its leadership upheaval.

Broadcom dropped 4.8% and Marvell fell 4.7%. All three stocks declined more than Nvidia, which lost 2.0%, and the iShares Semiconductor ETF, or SOXX, which fell 3.7%.

Comparisons are based on Yahoo Finance split-adjusted closing prices through the 4 p.m. ET regular-session close on Nov. 13, and exclude after-hours trading. Friday's changes are measured against Nov. 12, while weekly changes are measured against Nov. 6.

Nvidia announced Thursday that Jensen Huang had resigned as president, chief executive and a director, effective immediately. Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress took over as interim CEO while keeping her finance role, and the board began searching for a permanent successor.

The selloff narrowed, but did not erase, the week's divergence. Through Thursday, AMD had gained 30.3% from the previous Friday's close, while Nvidia had lost 11.0%. AMD, Broadcom and Marvell all ended the week with double-digit gains despite Friday's declines.
