Nvidia is on course to lose more than $700 billion in market value following the sudden resignation of CEO Jensen Huang, according to CBS News. The company's shares fell 9.5% in early trading on Thursday, adding to losses earlier in the week.

Nvidia confirmed that Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO. Huang's departure follows reports of relationships with two women, including Alice Huang, a Chinese business executive whom US intelligence agencies reportedly suspect of having links to espionage.

Analysts have warned that losing Huang could weaken investor confidence, given his central role in building Nvidia into a leading artificial intelligence chipmaker. However, some argue that the company's technology, software and customer network remain valuable despite the leadership change.

The sell-off comes amid wider concerns about whether the AI industry can generate sufficient profits to justify its massive investments.
