Nvidia and Chief Executive Jensen Huang were sued on Monday (November 9, 2026) in a proposed class action accusing them of defrauding shareholders by concealing Huang's ties with a suspected Chinese spy. According to a complaint filed in federal court in San Jose, California, the defendants misled shareholders about Huang's alleged affair with Alice Huang, a former executive of Singapore-based Megaspeed who is not related to him, and did not disclose that the matter raised national security concerns that threatened Nvidia's reputation and business prospects.
The New York Times reported last month about the alleged relationship, and that U.S. authorities had concluded Alice Huang was a Chinese intelligence asset. Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
