The Nvidia<\/a> earnings date has not moved. The third-quarter report comes on Tuesday, 17 November 2026, five days after Jensen Huang left the CEO post and the board in an 8-K filing dated 12 November, the form a US-listed company files with the securities regulator to report a major event. Chief financial officer Colette Kress is interim CEO and keeps her CFO role. This article lists the dated triggers around the report, the price levels NVDA has traded at around the announcement and three if-then scenarios for the results.<\/p>\n\n

\n
TL;DR<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Nvidia reports on 17 November: results at about 1:20 PM<\/a> Pacific time and a call at 2:00 PM PT, which is 5:00 PM ET and 22:00 UTC.<\/li>\n
  2. NVDA opened 13.1% lower on 12 November and closed at 166.19 USD, down 4.34% on the day and 30.5% below its closing high of 239.24 USD.<\/li>\n
  3. Three triggers follow: results against Nvidia's 108.0 billion USD revenue outlook, a date for Huang's congressional testimony and the naming of a permanent CEO.<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n <\/div>\n\n

    Last updated: 13 November 2026<\/p>\n\n

    Market figures run to the 12 November close. The scenarios use Nvidia's own outlook and observed prices, with no analyst forecasts and no price targets.<\/p>\n\n

    <\/span>What the 8-K Says and What It Leaves Open<\/span><\/h2>\n

    In the 8-K filed on 12 November, Nvidia said Huang stepped down as president, CEO and member of the board, effective immediately. The filing gives no reason. Kress, an executive vice president and the CFO, becomes interim CEO and stays CFO until a successor is in place. Harvey C<\/a>. Jones becomes chair of the board, the first chair in the company's history. The board is looking for a permanent CEO among internal and external candidates.<\/p>\n

    The company's wording is that Huang left. CNBC, citing an anonymous source, reported that the board decided on the evening of 11 November to remove him. That is the report of one outlet and one unnamed source, so this article uses the company's wording.<\/p>\n

    The filing leaves three things open: the reason for the change, the timeline of the CEO search and the date of any testimony in Congress. The one date it confirms is the report on 17 November, which stays as previously scheduled.<\/p>\n\n

    <\/span>Why Did Jensen Huang Leave Nvidia?<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Nvidia has given no official reason for the change. The 8-K of 12 November records the departure and its timing. The days before it brought two affairs into the open: one Huang admitted himself, and one reported by The New York Times. The first also raised questions about export controls.<\/p>\n\n

    \n
    From the board review to the CEO change, 8 to 12 November<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n
    8 November<\/div>\n
    Admission and board review.<\/strong> In a letter to staff, published by CNBC, Huang wrote that he had been unfaithful to his wife. The board opened an independent review the same day.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
    \n
    9 November<\/div>\n
    Export-control questions.<\/strong> Three House committee chairs asked Huang to attend a closed briefing on 18 November. CNBC, citing The New York Times, reported a Justice Department inquiry into Megaspeed, an Nvidia customer.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
    \n
    11 November<\/div>\n
    Second report and board meeting.<\/strong> The New York Times reported a second affair, with an Nvidia vice president who reported to Huang. The board met that evening; CNBC, citing an anonymous source, said it decided to remove him.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
    \n
    12 November<\/div>\n
    8-K filing.<\/strong> Huang leaves the CEO post and the board, effective immediately. The filing gives no reason.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
    Sources: Nvidia 8-K of 12 November; CNBC for 8, 9 and 11 November, including reports it attributes to The New York Times and to an anonymous source; TechCrunch for the 11 November report. Only the first affair was admitted by Huang; the second is a media report that Nvidia has not commented on.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

    The first affair.<\/strong> On 8 November Huang wrote to staff: \"I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did.\" CNBC reported that the affair was with Alice Huang, a businesswoman. The New York Times and the Financial Times reported that US intelligence agencies had raised concerns that she passed information to Beijing. These are allegations, and no finding has been published. She is affiliated with a cloud company and with Megaspeed, an Nvidia customer that has faced accusations of helping restricted Chinese companies obtain Nvidia chips. Megaspeed denies diverting chips, and Nvidia has said Megaspeed was already investigated over export controls. The board said it had no reason to believe that national security or Nvidia's secrets were compromised, and hired the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz for its review.<\/p>\n

    The second affair.<\/strong> On 11 November The New York Times, citing five Nvidia employees, reported that Huang had also had an affair with an Nvidia vice president who reported directly to him, and that the two were filmed together at a San Jose hotel in March. Nvidia and the executive did not respond to CNBC's requests for comment, and no response from Huang to this report has been published. Nvidia's rules discourage relationships between managers and the people who report to them, TechCrunch noted. The board met the same evening. Analysts at Oppenheimer wrote that the two relationships together appeared to have forced the board's hand, and on 12 November Huang stepped down.<\/p>\n

    For the stock the two threads lead to different places. A departure over personal conduct leaves a succession question, which ends once a permanent CEO is named. Findings on export controls would reach Nvidia's customer list and its sales outside the US. The testimony in Congress, set out in the calendar below, is where the second thread can move next.<\/p>\n\n

    <\/span>Calendar of Triggers Around the Earnings Date<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Three dated or undated events frame the next two weeks. Only the first has a confirmed time.<\/p>\n\n

    \n
    Nvidia triggers, in the order<\/a> they can arrive<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \n
    Before 26 November<\/div>\n
    Testimony in Congress.<\/strong> Date not agreed. CNBC: the committee chair named Thanksgiving as the limit.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
    \n
    No date<\/div>\n
    Permanent CEO.<\/strong> The 8-K sets no timeline for the search.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
    Sources: Nvidia 8-K of 12 November and Nvidia investor relations (results and call times); CNBC for the testimony, attributed to House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Brian Mast. Thanksgiving falls on 26 November 2026.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

    On the testimony, CNBC reported that Mast said Huang agreed to testify before Thanksgiving, that the date is under discussion and that he would issue a subpoena if the talks fail. The date can land before or after the report, which is why it appears in the scenarios below. Nvidia confirms its call details on the investor relations page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

    <\/span>Price Levels: 173.73 and 239.24 USD<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Five prices frame the stock going into the report. Figures for 11 and 12 November come from stockanalysis.com<\/a>. The closing high of 239.24 USD on 6 October is from CNBC's live coverage of 12 November.<\/p>\n\n

    Prices in USD. Source: stockanalysis.com, CNBC for the 6 October close.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

    The 12 November close of 166.19 USD is 30.5% below the closing high, and the 11 November close was 27.4% below it. Both figures are our calculation from the prices above. The session was wide: after the open at 151.01 USD, NVDA recovered 10.1% to the close and 11.7% from the low of 148.80 USD. Volume reached 740.8 million shares against 339.2 million the day before, about 2.2 times as many.<\/p>\n

    The 173.73 USD close is the first reference for the report, because it is the last regular-session close before the 8-K. The 148.80 USD low is the lowest price of the 12 November session.<\/p>\n\n

    <\/span>Scenario Table for 17 November<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Nvidia's outlook for the quarter, given in its second-quarter results release, is the one set of expectations confirmed in a primary source, and the scenarios are built on it.<\/p>\n\n

    \n \n \n
    Item in the outlook<\/th>Nvidia's figure<\/th>Range to compare<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n
    Revenue<\/td>108.0 billion USD, plus or minus 2%<\/td>105.84 to 110.16 billion USD<\/td><\/tr>\n
    Gross margin<\/td>74.0%, plus or minus 50 basis points (half a percentage point)<\/td>73.5% to 74.5%<\/td><\/tr>\n
    Operating expenses<\/td>About 9.2 billion USD GAAP, 9.0 billion USD non-GAAP<\/td>Single figures, no range<\/td><\/tr>\n
    China<\/td>No Data Center compute revenue from China assumed<\/td>Any such revenue is outside the outlook<\/td><\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n\n

    The ranges are the outlook figures with the stated margin applied, which is our arithmetic. Each trigger below has what to watch and the condition that cancels the reading.<\/p>\n\n

    \n \n \n
    Trigger<\/th>What to watch<\/th>Reference<\/th>The reading changes if<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n
    Results and outlook under interim leadership<\/td>Revenue and gross margin against the ranges, the next quarter's outlook and NVDA's first close after the report<\/td>105.84 to 110.16 billion USD, 73.5% to 74.5%, 166.19 and 173.73 USD<\/td>The report moves from 17 November, which shifts the whole calendar<\/td><\/tr>\n
    A testimony date is set before the report<\/td>A date announced by the committee chair, and whether it falls before or after 17 November<\/td>26 November as the stated limit<\/td>The talks fail and the committee issues a subpoena, so the committee sets the date<\/td><\/tr>\n
    A permanent CEO is named<\/td>A new 8-K with the appointment, and whether the person is internal or external<\/td>No timeline in the 8-K<\/td>Kress stays interim past the report and the company gives no timeline<\/td><\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n\n

    If Results and Outlook Arrive Under Interim Leadership<\/h3>\n

    If<\/strong> revenue lands inside 105.84 to 110.16 billion USD and gross margin inside 73.5% to 74.5%, then<\/strong> the report gives the market one set of numbers produced under the new leadership, and the first test is where NVDA closes against 166.19 and 173.73 USD. A close above 173.73 USD takes back the whole fall of 12 November. This changes if<\/strong> revenue falls outside the range, because the numbers then lead the story.<\/p>\n\n

    If the Congress Date Is Set Before the Report<\/h3>\n

    If<\/strong> the committee announces a date before 17 November, then<\/strong> the testimony and the results land within days of each other, and the call includes a question session for financial analysts and institutional investors, according to Nvidia. This changes if<\/strong> a subpoena, a legal order to appear, replaces the agreed date, since the committee then controls the timing.<\/p>\n\n

    If a Permanent CEO Is Named<\/h3>\n

    If<\/strong> Nvidia files an 8-K with a permanent CEO, then<\/strong> the interim period ends and the search question closes, so later reports can be read against a settled leadership. An internal appointment and an external one carry different continuity signals<\/a>, and the filing will show which it is. This changes if<\/strong> Kress is still interim after the report and no timeline appears.<\/p>\n\n

    <\/span>How Nvidia’s Peers Moved on 12 November (Approximate)<\/span><\/h2>\n

    CNBC's live coverage listed moves in related stocks<\/a> during the first hours of trading on 12 November. The times of the entries are approximate. Super Micro's figure comes from Bloomberg as relayed by CNBC. NVDA itself opened 13.1% lower and closed 4.34% lower, so closing moves for the peers may differ from these early ones.<\/p>\n\n

    \n \n \n
    Stock<\/th>Early move on 12 November<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n
    Broadcom<\/td>Up more than 5%<\/td><\/tr>\n
    AMD<\/td>Up about 3%<\/td><\/tr>\n
    Intel<\/a><\/td>Down more than 4%<\/td><\/tr>\n
    Marvell<\/td>Down more than 4%<\/td><\/tr>\n
    CoreWeave<\/td>Down 9% to 12%<\/td><\/tr>\n
    Super Micro<\/td>Down 12%<\/td><\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n\n

    Two stocks rose and four fell, so the first reaction split the group. After 17 November the same list shows whether the market treats Nvidia's report as news for the whole AI chip group or for Nvidia alone.<\/p>\n\n

    <\/span>How to Follow NVDA on StocksTrader<\/span><\/h2>\n
