$166.19 Β· NVDA closing price
After hours: $166.54 (+0.21%)
It’s official. Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia’s CEO after more than three decades. CFO Colette Kress is now interim CEO, and a search for a permanent successor is underway. NVIDIA Newsroom+1
Nvidia plunged nearly 12% intraday before recovering much of the damage. Retail investors reportedly bought approximately $111 million during the first half-hour.
The twist: Wall Street may have lost confidence in the leadership, but buyers haven’t completely abandoned the business. reuters.com
π― Forward Watch: Nvidia’s November 17 earnings report is now a major test. Watch official succession updates, management guidance, and whether the stock can reclaim Wednesday’s $173.73 closing level.

After hours: $582.41 (β0.49%)

π― Forward Watch: Watch AMD’s ability to defend $580 and whether the relative strength against NVDA continues into Friday.
π 3. BROADCOM β Quietly Taking a Bigger Slice of the AI Pie?
+5.54%
$364.36 Β· AVGO closing price
After hours: $364.60 (+0.07%)
Broadcom isn’t making the loudest headlines, but its stock is making noise.

The twist: A strong day for Nvidia’s rivals doesn’t prove they’ll take its market share. But it does reveal where traders are directing their attention.
π― Forward Watch: Can AVGO defend the $360 area? Sustained relative strength alongside AMD would strengthen the case for continued rotation within AI.
βοΈ 4. COREWEAVE β The AI Gold Rush Meets a Reality Check
β6.86%
$56.60 Β· CRWV closing price
After hours: $56.61 (+0.02%)
Yesterday’s nearly 25% rally looked unstoppable.
Today, reality came knocking.

Strong earnings can support a business case, but expensive financing and concentrated industry relationships can still worry investors.
π― Forward Watch: Monitor whether CRWV can defend the $55β$56 region and whether buyers can reclaim $60.77, Wednesday’s closing price.
βΏ 5. STRATEGY β When Risk Appetite Cracks, Bitcoin Stocks Feel It
β6.49%
$114.41 Β· MSTR closing price
After hours: $114.38 (β0.03%)
Strategy finished deep in the red as the broader market confronted high interest rates and weakening appetite for risk-sensitive assets.
Its Bitcoin-heavy financial strategy leaves it especially exposed to changes in cryptocurrency sentiment.
The twist: MSTR is not just a conventional software stock. Bitcoin movements, financing expectations and stock-market sentiment can all influence its valuation.
π― Forward Watch: Keep Bitcoin’s price action on screen alongside MSTR. Watch the $114 region for stabilization, and remember that crypto markets continue trading over the weekend.
π₯ AFTER-HOURS BOMBSHELL β CEREBRAS STEALS THE SHOW
+16.90%
CBRS Β· $114.27 after hours
While Nvidia dominated the headlines, Cerebras Systems delivered one of tonight’s biggest confirmed earnings reactions.
Cerebras reported quarterly core revenue of approximately $230.9 million, up 70% and above expectations of $214.7 million. The stock closed at $97.75 before exploding higher after the bell. thecorequant.com
π― Forward Watch: Watch whether CBRS can sustain its earnings-driven breakout Friday morning. The reaction is significant, but thin after-hours liquidity can exaggerate price movements.
This is the standout new after-hours catalyst, whereas the Top 5 above primarily explain Thursday’s full-session moves.
